Tried everything! Only one proper bite across the group and angler error let us down there!
Lovely looking stretch, great accomodation at the Courtfield Arms, would love to repeat but with the addition of fish!

A evening at Courtfield, no barbel, a couple of chub lost, 4 to snags.

2 Chub

Started in the meadow but bites were hard to come by. On Dons advice two of us moved to the woods to shallower and faster flowing water. Had two barbel each and a couple of chub although the the bulk of the chub and other barbel coming later in the day to the rod who remained in the meadow. All fish taken on pellet fished with a feeder.

8 Barbel, 20 Chub, 2 Other

We caught more than our fair share! Loads of barbel, numerous fish over 8lb and 3 over 9lb, biggest 9lb 6oz. Plenty of chub, biggest about 4lb. Left earlier than planned because we thought we better leave a few for next time! A brilliant day!

25 Barbel, 20 Chub

Started in the wooded area early morning, had 1 Barbel plus 2 Chub moved to the meadow mid day, had 1 Barbel plus 1 Chub. River rose around 8 inches thoughout the day with a nice bit of colour. All fish caught on pellet and feeder.

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

I had a reasonably fresh 14 pounder on fly yesterday evening which had probably come up with the sudden rise, caught from the Willow Run Courtfield. The river rose to about 6" at Wyebank on Tuesday and dropped back to summer level by lunchtime Thursday. Only the odd fish seen here this last week, really expected to see some yesterday evening but nothing showing.

A great day catching 15 barbel including two 9s and one 10 pounder from swim 2 top end of Legg meadow.

15 Barbel

2nd day on this beat. Still failed to find any Barbel on the upper beat (Meadow). A few Chub just to liven things up taken on pellet or boilie. 5 Barbel from lower part of beat and a couple of Chub. Late spawning may have spoiled our sport as a couple of Barbel caught showed signs of having just spawned.

5 Barbel, 7 Chub

River very low and weather not very kind. Could not locate any Barbel in the Meadow beat only a few Chub. One of the rods did locate 6 Barbel to 7lb just above the Boat pool lower down but lost a lot of terminal gear in doing so.
A great beat having an off day.

4 Barbel, 6 Chub

J had 6 barbel on Saturday to 10lbs 14oz and 6 chub to 5lbs. Swim 13 and 4 good barbel on Sunday leaving mid afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend fishing thank you.

10 Barbel, 6 Chub
