Feedback & Reports

What a fantastic drive into the Courtfield Estate set in the most beautiful countryside. The river looked in need of a good flush through with a number of swims in the "Meadow" unfishable due to the large amount of weed close into the bank.
Struggled to find the fish all day although that may have been due to the large amount of predator action in the swim with fry and minnows under constant attack (should have brought my spinning tackle)
Great day in a fantastic location thank you WAU.

Hard going today Did not start fishing until 1pm. Two small chub .

3 Barbel, one from the car park and two in the wood towards the top end. Best fish of the week at 9lb 2oz in another freshly cut swim. We had a great week overall in tough river conditions. Will definitely be back as it's a beautiful beat and Peter is an excellent host who has done a cracking job getting the venue ready.
Back in December for the Pike season!

Tough day as the blustery rain set in. River still low but managed a Barbel and decent Chub from top Crib. Some Chub caught near the wood car park too.

River Low and first time on the beat. Really impressed with the fishery manager Peter, who showed us some good swims that looked likely.
We all managed some chub and 2 of us on the top Crib had 3 barbel between us. Biggest 8lb. Not bad in bright tough conditions.

River slow shallow and very weedy, rather a lot of noisey reckless canoes again!
