Blistering hot day, very heavy canoe traffic, mostly polite & courteous though. Fished mainly in woods section as too hot for the meadow. Despite Dons helpful advice, managed a big fat blank. Love the stretch though & will certainly return.

A difficult day on Courtfield with temperatures reaching 29 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.
Primarily targeting chub on the float I heeded Don's advice and headed for the Boat pool and just above. Had two 3lb fish before Don's arrival at 8:45 to sweet corn but bites were very sporadic and hard to come by. Not helped by the number of canoes and swimmers coming down the river (I kid you not!)
Managed another couple of fish, biggest just under the 4lb mark by mid afternoon when I called it a day, beaten by the weather and lack of activity.
As ever Don's advice vital to making a very difficult day, conditions wise, worthy of the trip. Thanks Don, see you soon.

9 barbel to 9lb, 1 chub and 3 eels (approx 2lb). Great sport on a scorching day when a swim with shade was essential.

Water very low and clear and temperatures scorching. Still managed to find some fish in the middle of the river on groundbait feeder and pellet. Best fish just short of 10lb but average very good about 7-8lb. Boats very much a problem but some good sights!!!

Same swims, same tactics and same baits as two weeks ago when we caught loads of fish, but this weeks weather and river conditions were always going to make this trip a tricky one. Very pleased with end result. A great day and fantastic weather.

With the weather predicted to be 28c and wall to wall sunshine it didn't look to be ideal conditions. However fishing Courtfield it seems to always produces the results. Fishing down in the wooded area pellet and feeder approach produced 13 barbel plus a couple of chub. This was fishing from 8am to 6pm so not the most productive time of the day. It was wonderful to be fishing the river again. Although the river was very low the fight from these fish was fantastic. With this please be very careful and ensure they are well rested before releasing them back into the river. Especially with the high water temps too. The largest barbel was caught by A and was 9lbs 3oz, he also had the largest chub of 4lbs 7oz. Could have caught many more however the hot temperatures took it's toll and so we called it a day very early. Still the best beat on the Wye I believe.

Lower Courtfield, 7pm to 7.30pm. In shallows level with Little Willow a grilse of around 6 to 7 lb on small black/siver Flying C with one barbless hook. Fish hooked clean in top mandible and released in water. Next cast hooked and lost a similar size Grilse, it leapt in shallows and threw hook. D.M. confirms these certain to be part of July grilse run. River very low but good flow.
7.30pm to 10.15pm. Target large chub just below Little Willow seen on surface in the afternoon. 12 Chub to around 3lb on floating bread. Bites ceased so free-lined on size 6 hook very large sections of "common"! luncheon meat. Cast to mid stream, let out more line and let it settle near the bank downstream, does not snag and fish will take as it bounces down. 6 more chub, all well over 4lb and last cast a weighed chub of 5lb 11oz, not my 6lb target but well pleased. I assumed the size of bait used would deter the small chub. The last fish could have easily got half tin of luncheon meat in its mouth!

1 Salmon, 18 Chub
