Absolutely superb!

This is barbel and chub fishing at its best. Fished feeder on pellet hookbait. First half hour quiet whilst the fish moved in, then constant savage takes from then on! Stayed at the Falcon House B&B, with an interesting and unusual parliament of owls in residence.

Fished the faster flow in low water conditions for just an afternoon, before the long journey home after an excellent weeks fishing this great river. Canoes were an occasional mild irritation but were generally polite and not too obtrusive.

No signs of fish activity but very nice stretch of the river. Will be returning in the summer.

River was in flood, caught nothing.

2 pike caught to 8lb. Fish in lovely condition.

River quite high after the rain Thursday night. Only a few small pike caught.

After a fairly testing drive down a narrow bumpy lane we arrived to find the river at a reasonable level. We enjoyed the long walk despite being a touch apprehensive getting passed the cows with their young.
The fishing was slow and we only managed 1 Chub and a handful of small Dace plus a welcome first Wye gudgeon for us.
Despite the length of this stretch there are very few swims and with the Courtfield beat on the opposite bank it is understandable this stretch is seldom fished apart from by the numerous Kingfishers resident!!
Maybe in summer when the level is lower, there may be better prospects and our lack of experience probably did not help the poor return.
