Again poor day not sure I want to come back in a hurry?

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

Had a short evening session here after travelling down from Yorkshire. River is lower than we've seen it and the lack of weed and look of the river isnt good. We put some bait in and left it for a while then 2 fished the float while 1 fished pellet and bomb. All 3 of us had a barbel and they were all a good size.

Look forward to returning soon

First look at this beat - mainly the section downstream of the bridge, where I found one decent pool, containing some large but uncooperative trout, and otherwise rather skinny water, at least in the present drought conditions. A fall of spinners towards evening brought some activity only from par. Like other beats this one is desperately in need of a flush out and a bit of a prune. The algae makes even the shallow wading treacherously slippery.

Never saw a rise, the entrance is a scary one…

Very low water conditions with a lot of small chub. The two larger barbel came in the very late evening at last light.

Lovely fishery with a mix of swims, but take a rope. River low and slow, sunny and bright, so not surprised to have two runs all day ! Jolly's Studio in Goodrich is a great place to stay and literally five minutes from the courtfield estate waters.
