We fished at Middle Hill Court today, and it was just too cold we didn't have a touch between us. We will be back soon as the fishery has been much improved by the addition of extra swims. We fished with meat and various pellets all to no avail, ah well it was a lovely ( cold ) day.

Tough conditions, water was very cold. Presumably snow melt had worked its way down from Wales. Very few bites apart from trout that took a liking to luncheon meat.

Just fished an afternoon session,rained all day and river pushing through.Despite that plenty of accesable swims. Had the pleasure of seeing the otter up close and also managed to land four nice chub to 5lbs. All fish caught on feeder and boilie in various swims.

Will be back !

As we'd had 4 mild nights in a row I decided to give the Wye a go. I as greeted with a positively balmy (barmy?) 6 degrees on arrival (rising to 9), dry and with no wind, making the banks of the Wye a very pleasant to be. The Ross gauge level was 1.4 and the water coloured but not dirty, looking good. The problem was always going to be water temperature not knowing how long it would take for the snow water to run through. My fears were realised when I was looking back at a 5.8 degree reading. 2 small chub from the top swim prevented the blank but one hook pull was the only return from 2 swims at the bottom end. I tried groundbait and maggot feeders and a range of hookbaits. Still a day on the Wye.....

Freezing cold conditions, river low and clear. Hardly surprising we struggled. Complete blank for the pike but a few chub came out to play.

Blank for both anglers but a good day out as always.

Cold day, river still rushing though. Fished the first field, for the first time. Met the bailiff for the first time as well, nice to see someone putting in some hard work in to making more swims. After all it's not cheap. Lost a few chub today, down to using too long a hair I think. Fishing for Barbel. Did enjoy it, even if the banks are still more than a bit slippery. Caught all three chub on luncheon meat. The first two were about 3lb. But at about 3.30 pm, I had my biggest Wye chub. 5lb 3oz. Really pleased. Ps I wish there was more parking available.
