Feedback & Reports

River conditions perfect, 3 people fished all day until 5.30pm. Did not get a single bite.
We tried pellets, Bread and maggots on float and feeder.
We have fished this section before and know the pegs well. Very disappointing.

River and weather conditions looked just about perfect for some Chub action and possibly the odd Barbel. Unfortunately the fish did not seem to share my enthusiasm and it was not until 17:10 that I had my only bite of the day resulting in a 4lb 1oz Chub.

Drew a blank ! River up and using through. After Pike but that's how it goes sometimes.
Please be wary of the steep banks. We could do with some proper swims being cut into the WUF stretches as a lot the fishing this time of year is dangerous on a lot of the stretches with the bank access just too steep.

Nothing caught this time.

First time on Courtfield. Looked some pikey looking swims but unfortunately the pike weren't playing, although the river looked good. It was a little low and clear but we have fished in much worse conditions. Two of us fished all day, covering the whole stretch without a touch.

Was only able to fish for a short period in the afternoon due to unexpected work commitments. I blanked.

River was in flood - though at a steady level through the day. Fished a large chunk of flavoured luncheon meat. Caught 1 x 1lb eel - that was right in the main flow with 6 oz lead holding bottom. Put it back. Nothing else. Roved, fished the main flow, creases, slack water and at one point 12ft above the water in a tree. I am sure the barbel were feeding but due to my lack of knowledge of this stretch didn't catch. I had a great day though and will be back. Lovely fishery.

No fish caught on a tough day, river in flood.

First time any of us had fished the river, which was high and coloured. Halibut pellets and PVA mesh bags down the near bank to keep out of the strong flow but nothing showed.

River high and got higher. rained most of the day. Went home wet and tired. No fish to report.
