Feedback & Reports

Fished the lower end of the beat in the morning caught 3 chub to five pounds. Moved around after lunch but no more bites the water was very cold but a nice days fishing.

3 Chub

My first try at barbel fishing. I had a fish of 9lb 8oz
fished middle of river as edges very snaggy, only 1 bite.
River conditions good but banks a bit dodgy. Boilie bait with a few free thrown in.

1 Barbel

My Nephew and I were guided by Kenny Parsons and I am pleased to say his deserved 100% record is intact. The river made us work for it but in the last knockings two immaculate upper 6lb Barbel were caught exactly where Kenny said they would be.
Tricky conditions on the river but what a beautiful day and after some great advice the fish turned up in the end. We also returned to the lower wood swim the next day, with the same feeder and pellet tactics and managed to tempt 7 more fish to 9lb 3oz.
Thank for a great weekend Kenny, WUF and the beautiful Wye.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Had a day on the river on Saturday at Courtfield. Unfortunately I blanked, but my partner had 2 x Barbel, best 8 1/4 lb and a small chubb. River in good condition, spoke to the riverkeeper who was very informative and told us that no barbel had come out of there since January.
Will be back in the summer.

Spent the day roving with deadbaits trying all the slacks along the stretch but unfortunately had no runs. The water was freezing with Ice on the line!

Lovely stretch and beautiful surroundings, will be back in the near future.

Plenty of snow on the ground making some swims a bit to risky to fish. Unfortunately a blank with no action to myself and my mates rod. Will try again in the next few weeks.

Five inches of snow made access difficult. All fished Boat/Ferry pool with deadbaits - no fish.

3 fished deadbaits from pumping station down to wood. 1 lost fish at end of day back at peg 1.

Walked the beat with the owner, very helpful but no fish.

Very good section. Owner is a top chap and he gave us some good information. I blanked roving with different baits. S N stuck it out in 4th swim down & was rewarded with 2 barbel the best of 10lb 14oz. His first double ever, fell to pellet.
