Two Barbel caught late in the day from the upper open area, nice part of the wye valley with some nice swims.

I arrived at Courtfield at approximately 6.ooam after a short 35 minute drive, the parking areas were easy to find after a bit of research on google maps the previous night.
After walking the length of the fishery checking out all the swims i decided to drop in on Legg meadow crib from here i took three barbel up to 6.8lb from a spot towards the far bank , three casts and three fish, at around 9.30 the first of the dreaded canoes started floating by which killed the action, so with this i decided to take a good look around, after a visit to the pub for lunch and a further walk round in which i decided to drop in to wood crib,at around 4.30 the canoes had now dispersed.
At first i fished half way out to where i was receiving indications of fish being present but found that the area was immensely snaggy and proceeded to lose a few feeders, i decided to fish another mark on the far bank under some overhanging tree in about three feet of water within two minutes of the feeder hitting the water i received a snatchy bite which produced a chubb of around 5lb, two furthers casts to same area then produced a 6.9lb and an 9.4lb barbel.
Stunning stretch to get you really thinking Drove home with a massive smile on my face.

Another great day of sport on the Wye fishing was a bit more difficult than on other trips, but perseverance paid off. Fish Caught on a mixture of dries and small nymphs. Water very low and not many fish rising.
