Feedback & Reports

River slightly coloured which was great, caught from the start in all swims. 11 Barbel which ranged from 1lb to 2lb, some on float and bomb. This must be a Barbel nursery as there are so many small fish, great for the future. Plenty of snags though. The only downside to a beautiful day was the bloody canoes which were relentless. But overall still great to be catching in stunning surroundings.

After 2 fabulous days on Backney surely things could not get better could it. Oh yes! Middle Hill Court is a truely stunning scenic beat . Admittly short on pegs but catch it on a high river and your in for a treat. Slow start but arm aching action was soon to follow with a number of high nines and the second doulbe of my Wye trip in a 10lb 7oz stunning fish. Roll on tomorrow!

Planned to fish the float but the river was carrying a bit too much colour so fished the feeder . Used meat and pellets with meat catching the most . All in all another good day on the Wye. Good beat good access thanks WUF.

4 barbel between 7-8 lb and one 4lb chub. River was high and moving fast, all fishing taken from the middle of the beat. Well maintained beat and a pleasure to chat with Colin as always.

Arrived early to find river was up and a milk chocolate colour. Lovely Chub of exactly 4lbs first cast, and a 9lb 9oz Barbel second cast, things were looking good. Three more Barbel (7lb12oz, 6lb4oz and 4lb11oz) by 10am then the sun broke through and things died. Found a few bites early afternoon by scaling down the bait size to hair rigged single Sweetcorn with a size 14 hook. Caught one (8lb6oz) and lost another to snags. From 4pm things picked up again with 5 more landed (5lb8oz, 7lb8oz, 5lb10oz, 6lb6oz and 6lb4oz) and three lost to snags.
Kept on the move all day trying different swims along the field between the two parking spaces, picking up fish in most. Had a look up stream of the line of trees but the extra water made this area look very difficult (although there were plenty on the far bank trying).
Another great day on the Wye, can't wait to get back

Fishing from 4.00 pm with the river well up, a bit of colour and good flow. Cloudy, warm weather. A few taps on pellet in the first hour then switched to meat and caught steadily with barbel to 7-3 and three four pound chub. A perfect evening's fishing.

After the previous days fishing at Caradoc, we were expecting to find that the river had dropped a little overnight. We were surprised to find it had risen further and we were going to have to change our plans a little. We fished the inside line along the length of the fishery and after a slow start, we caught steadily throughout the day. Most fish caught on meat, with mini boilies not really working, whereas with a little less colour the day before it was the other way around. Overall a very enjoyable day.
