Difficult conditions with water levels very low and clear but managed 2 barbel of 8lb 6oz and 10lb 8oz. Also lost a 3rd fish to a hook pull.

Great day as per normal. Roger had the best barbel of 9lbs. All the others were slightly smaller. You need to hunt down these fish as they tend to move around with the low water conditions.

Fished for 3 days x 4 rods river low but wonderful thanks to don for advice and help. Only managed 2 barbel, 7lb 6oz and 9lb 2oz. Back next year: awesome place!

River was low, bright sunny day but hey, how often do you get a chance to fish such a desirable river with a great reputation. My previous visit to Courtfield had resulted in a blank! Fished the woods section from the start (5 different swims), got yakking with the land owner who gave some sound advice, not least, stay until dusk and you will reap the rewards. Tried a few methods and baits, in the end halibut pellet with scalded pellet and hemp ground bait in a feeder paid off. A 3ft twitch kicked the rod into life at 6pm, resulting in a fun perfect "bar of gold" coming in at 9lb 6oz. 10 mins later and a 7lbish, I didn't bother weighing it as I wanted to cram as much action in as possible in the fading light. Headed back to Brum a happy fella! Beautiful scenery, truly un-paralleled! Thanks WUF....and the landowner!

Caught 2 barbel, one was 9lb 7oz caught around 10:30am and the other 7lb 8oz caught at dusk. I also lost 2 at the end of the day. I'll be using more abrasive resistant 15lb mainline the next time I visit! Fish caught using pellet and boilies.

Hard fishing - river rose overnight.

After a eventful drive we finally found the beat. The beat is stunning but due to the rain walking to and getting down to the swims was difficult. If I return in the future I will make sure I have some rope to help myself out. Started fishing down at the boat pool but had nothing except losing the top of my rod into the river, if anyone lands it I would be grateful for its return. I later moved to the meadow where during a spell of brilliant sunshine I took 2 barbel 5.10 and a couple of chub just under 4 . Later in the day had a stunning fish of 9.8 which completed a wonderful day. Fish come on pellet and feeder rig. Fished into dark but had no more fish. If parking half way down the beat be careful because the cars on the road were really motoring and get close to where you park.
