Having met Don the owner (who seemed to be waiting for us to arrive) he guided us to the wood crib, which had fished well for barbel the day before. Good start - brother in law landing first barbel at 7.5lb and losing another fish. By now water rising fast - lots of weed and difficult to fish. Water had risen 6 inches in 2 hours, packed up early with blank for me, we shall return.

A difficult day due to rising, coloured water, rain and wind. However, Dave and I managed 10 grayling on mainly pink bugs fished in Czech style. Best fish ( Dave Collins) 1.75 lbs. Results even between top and bottom of beat.
Nobody said it would be easy, but...

Tight lines when it falls, LN

Only managed 3 barbel the best going 6lb and 1 good chub all taken on pellet. Hard frost first thing, maybe that put them down a little. Nice to have the whole river to myself. Perfect day for the middle of October.

A complete blank. Tryed pellet and meat in several swims but not even a tickle. A cold snap after sustained mild weather probably did not help.

River low and bites hard to come by, 2.5lb chub on cell boilie and a 16lb 3oz pike on a smelt. Approx 20 salmon seen.

Lovely stretch of river second time we have fished here.
3 rods fished and caught 11 Barbel & 3 Chub on pellet.
Met Colin for the first time. Nice chap plenty of useful information will definitely be back.

Arrived at 8.00am and spent the day in the most wonderful countryside - amazing. Only managed 1 nice barbel of 7lbs all day. 2 others lost. Definitely will be back soon..thanks wuf and Adam.

No salmon - 2 trout on stoats tails.

Having fished The Wye around Hereford for the 2 previous days, we had a feeling the fishing was not going to be easy as bites had been hard to come by. Unfortunately things didn't improve very much fishing Courtfield. We met Mr Macer-Wright who was as friendly and helpful as he could be. Many thanks to him. He advised Steve and myself to fish Wood Crib and Big Willow upstream peg. From the latter peg I managed to catch a chub and two nice barbel weighing 7lb and 7lb 4oz from right across on the gravel run just upstream. My mate however couldn't make a bite so we decided to move into Legg Meadow. I unfortunately fished Legg Meadow bottom swim across to the far bank but never had a single indication. Steve however fished the New Swim and just before dark had a barbel estimated 8lb+. All 3 fish fell to 2 x 8mm halibut pellets fished on the feeder with hemp and 4mm pellet.

First time on this stretch. Tough day. Caught 2 Barbel to 7 1/2 lbs & 2 Chub between three rods. Caught on pellet & tried meat & corn.
