Great new water. Arrived to meet the Colonel organising the repair of a gate. He has put in hard standing on the car parking
Had a fab day fishing, Al managed his best total so didn't want to leave in spite of the rain and the pubs being open.
We will be back to fish this beat again

fished top of the section all morning with no bites,we then moved to the lower section and found some fish in the deeper faster water nearside,falling to meat i had my pb fish of 10lb exactly was well chuffed then my mate beat that with an 11lb fish!enjoyed our day here although due to river conditions it was hard going most of the time,we couldnt get a bite on anything other than meat.also had a problem with a salmon angler in mid river casting to our water!!although he did move when asked nicely!

one small barbel late on in the day, very quiet day.

1 Barbel

Nothing caught. Yet to catch a salmon after about 12 sessions. Must be doing something wrong, or is this not unusual.

Fished two days on Courtfield. Nice beat overall, over the road just behind you is very noisy. Caught number of fish from different swims through out the day. fishing 3 years on they Wye I was never controlled to check what hooks or bait am I using, which is wrong. Found a few barbed hooks on the banks and in fish'es mouths including some on what must have been a 6lb line!!

First time to this beat, so approached with caution, not knowing where the deep gullys are. Fly fished using no10 shrimp pattern: 2 brownies, both returned. Will fish this stretch for winter greyling, to learn more about the deep gullys for an attack on the river next year.
