9 x trout 6-13 inches, several 12 inch fish, on Rusty Klinkhammer. I probably missed as many again. Despite the rain and a tinge of colour in the water, these streams haven't risen, so fish still very spooky in low pools and the bed of the stream still covered with slime. A windy day, so fish were interested in whatever was blowing out of the trees.

Just a spur of the moment "quick hit " session...River quite high on arrival but was dropping like the clappers! Dropped 18" while we were there. Fishing quite sporadic but pleased to end with 3 barbel to about 7lb, 4 chub and an eel all on feeder fished pellet.

River was fairly high and coloured, as a result there was a lot of debris. Fished from the right hand bank, just below the bridge with luncheon meat on a running ledger. All Barbel, bar one, were 5lb+ with one pushing 9lb. Largest Chub 3lb+.
Great service from the WUF thankyou for a great day!

15 Barbel, 10 Chub

Great to explore this beat - water levels spot on but rather coloured and hopping up and down all day. Nothing contacted bar a couple of trout; will return!

Fished The Creel stretch for the first time, but it won't be the last! A delightful stretch of river in a beautiful setting. Fishing was hard work due to huge rafts of floating weed coming down the river. But after finding an area where I could present a bait I was rewarded with 9 barbel and 3 chub. Looking forward to a return visit.

Tough day with an increase in water level and pace washing a lot of weed and debris down river. Conditions forced us to fish the meadow stretch and we managed a few fish to pellet fished on running leads. Biggest barbel was about 8lb, chub were about 2lb. We were due a not so good day as previous recent visits to Courtfield have been great. Back late August for another try!

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

River virtually unfishable after heavy rain. Highly coloured with strong downstream winds. Two trout caught at end of afternoon as river fined down a little.

River was quite high and coloured after rain, so wading and locating fish was quite tricky, but managed 3 brown trout each plus one little salmon parr. Mostly small fish, but one of about 12". A nice beat, would probably have been better sport with lower water levels. Fishing hut is locked up so not possible to take shelter/warm up either. Beautiful setting and majestic river.

The river was running a little high and coloured but was still fishable. I came back to my car to find a fishing diary on my windscreen with a request to comment and an invite for coffee. A nice end to a great day.
