Tough day but enjoyable in lovely surroundings.the fish would not respond to float tactics so opted to ledger and had a bit of joy but compared to other beats not as prolific.

Using mackerel deadbait. Only one dropped run.

We used the wash off policy as river had risen lots over night . Thanks

Really good to be back on the W Court's beats. Chose beat 4 to have a go for the pike. Started off with a couple of hours on the lures without any joy, not even any follows. The river was in great condition - clear and just up a little. Then the heavens opened up just as the forecast had said so it was time to put the brolly up, fish a deadbait and get out of the wind and rain. I fished on until the end of the day with no takes at all so Mr Pike won today. I bet as soon as I packed up he moved in and picked up the free offerings!
Met a fellow angler, Cliff. Nice to have met you. Looks like you made the right choice and we'll have that coffe and a chat another time. It's really nice to see the catch reports of pike being caught or seen.
Many thanks Terry, the fishery's looking great!

Only the one bite all day, just as it was getting dark. Unfortunately came off :(
Oh well, that's fishing! At least it was a nice day. Good stretch though, have caught every other visit, particularly good at the top end by the woods.

Fabulous conditions now. J levick tried for pike on Saturday and missed a huge fish which followed his lure on beat 5. Sunday a superb day again - 1 kelt about 5lb and a very fat pike 42 inches long weighing 22lb 6 oz from beat 6. All looking very pretty now after the numerous work parties Tim Kelly has hosted.

A bitterly cold day fishing very slow scratching for bites.. river was flowing very hard and still dropping .... 2 nice chub 4lb 11 and 4lb saved the day ...nice to get back on the Wye!!!!

River just fining down after flood, the pike were unresponsive apart from a follow and a lost fish (small) late in the day. RJ ledgered maggot catching a very healthy 1.5 lb trout and a couple of grayling, but no chub. SJ blanked. Many thanks to Terry for his directions for this beautiful water, we will be back!

River rising again but clear and superb condition. Pike was the target species this morning and visiting WUF anglers C R and friend were quick to catch a superbly conditioned pike weighing 15lb 5 oz from Pauls Orchard beat 2. This fish is currently the top weight fish in the 'Whitney Court Pike Competition' sponsored by Sportfish. We know there are plenty bigger fish on the Estate, just needs some applied effort really. Good luck if you can beat this.
