Feedback & Reports

Good job we brought the pike gear, as only a few silvers were obliging. Definitely not a low water beat. 2 very tentative chub bites all weekend to 2 rods. CW outnumbered TM, but TM pulled out the big gun. Quality fishing hut provided. Shame Vanstone pool not part of beat.

Arrived about 9 am, same hot sunny conditions as at Lower Carrots yesterday. It wasn't until mid/late afternoon that we were rewarded with 3 Barbel - 9.5 lb,10 lb,and 11 lb plus 1 eel. All caught on meat, fish weren't interested in pellets.

River was very low which severely limited areas worth fishing. 1 barbel last knockings and an eel! Had to fish fine. Lovely piece of water and would fish again when levels are higher (as probably are now). Pity the top boundary ends where it does.
Directions could do with an amendment - taking gate a second sharp left. Local farmer kindly re-directed me and commented he regularly re-directs Wye & Usk bookings looking for Middle court.

This report is for just 2 of the anglers fishing this venue. The other fish consists all of small chub, apart from the barbel we caught no other species of fish other than chub. The river was gin clear.

Numerous small chublets caught on stick float. One 3lb Chub caught on tip. Excellent food and accommodation at the Pilgrim Hotel.

Hot sunny weather, river looked good with a tinge of colour. One chub 3lb in mid afternoon on pellet and a few chublets trotting. A pleasure to fish here!

Fished float at lower end of beat, lots of small dace, chub and minnows.

Conditions low and clear, feeder tactics. The chub was 4.5lb, in good condition. Looking forward to some more water in the river.

Very low water levels. The one fish came late in the evening to pellet.

1 Barbel

Dace and bleak. Pegs dangerous in the dry. Inaccessable in the wet. Sport from 5pm onwards.
