Just one grayling, but it was the biggest I've ever caught, so I was happy. Size 16 red tag nymph. Two out-of-season trout, one rising to duns in the afternoon.

Nothing at all today

2 Chub

A falling river and a few days mild weather seemed to present a reasonable prospect for the fishing. But after four hours in different swims and baits the rod tip remained unmoved. Finally, with the light almost gone I managed a chub, followed by an eel. I missed another bite in near darkness and that was that. Nevertheless it was a pleasant afternoon and good to be back on the Wye after nearly a month.

No fish

we didn't fish

A lovely late autumn day saw the river and surrounding fields shrouded in mist early on. The river was up and rising and was really pushing through under the bridge. I fished in the slacker water at the bottom of the beat but alas the fish proved elusive. I had a very pleasant day soaking up the atmosphere and am already planning my return. Thanks W&U.

It was great to be back at courtfield ! Having recently been washed off , a much better day than expected a bit of rain this morning, then from 11 o’clock onwards it was fine and mild the river was rising a little but not much and had a nice colour, I fished the meadow about to swims up from the manhole swim mostly close in fished all the usual baits pellet meat but couldn’t get a bite ! Then at 3 o’clock tried halibut flavour meat and started getting knocks but no positive bites so in desperation I struck at a knock and found what the small bites were ! A good eel about 2lb so at least it saved a blank ! And I did see 4 fallow dear on the far bank and an otter made an appearance going up the river on the far side , all in all a great day to be out on the river.

River was rising with a fair bit of debris coming down but was still confident fishing the pool at the bottom of the beat. Sadly no action but I had a great day anyway! The view is stunning. Thanks W&U.
