Feedback & Reports

A brilliant days fishing. It started slowly. I must have spent at least an hour hunkered down under my umbrella as a thunderstorm circled. On the plus side it did reduce the canoe traffic but a few hardy souls were on the water with lightning flashing round them. I fished a faster stretch first and weed was a bit of a problem and the bank was extremely slick from the rain. I did get a couple of decent chub there. I moved to a safer and slower swim and was surprised by the results. The biggest barbel was 7lb 8 oz. I also had another over 7 lb and 2 over 6 lb. The chub were normal Wye standard - up to 4 lb. All were caught on feeder with meat or boilie on the hair.

walked entire length of upper court hill fishery only found 1 swim even possible to fish as bank completely over grown so both of us in 1 swim whole swim and surrounding trees covered in snapped off hook lengths when i did get to cast got caught up on line in the water then the storm hit and with all the fork lightning we gave up after an hour. what a complete waste of 50 quid. I have since found out we could have fished the lower court section which I am told has better and more accessable swims however would want to see these before spending any more money.

Czech style nymph, lots of beautiful water to cover. Pretty much fish everywhere. Love it - highly recommend. For sure will come back again
