Excellant venue. 2 chub caught. Swims are what you make yourself, very overgrown. River fining down after flood. Will be back again.

A good day, there was some colour in the water which made wading a little more challenging. All fish caught were very small largest being around 8-9 inches long.

Guest had 1 x 10 inch brown released then catch and release at distance on a few others. Missed one monster - saw its flank and would put it well over 3lbs. Know where it lives now. River coloured and things got tough so left for another venue and picked up 6 small trout/parr on dries and a lot more catch and release at distance.

2 barbel, 6 chub. Most fish caught on rolling meat, fishing
was very hard. Barbel not feeding for some reason. Not my favourite beat, very poor return for 3 rods fishing hard all day. Never mind, some days are like this, always next time.

7 brown trout on PTN and sedge dry. Slightly coloured water.

No salmon seen or caught

2 WBT caught, 1 approx 8 inches and 1 approx 12 inches, both on a dry Greenwells Glory size 18. Beautiful beat, will definitely fish again.

After a wonderful week fishing roving voucher waters we decided to return to Abbey Dore for our last day.
Full of originality we used exactly the same duo tactics as we had all week. Quickly into fish things were looking good - a brown trout on second cast. Next fish was another brown and the best of the week; perhaps nudging a pound.
Fish started to come steadily but as the sun got higher and brighter the takes started to dry up and it was time to head home.

The session finished with 4 trout and a single grayling.

First time at Middle Hill Court, and a very enjoyable afternoon in beautiful surroundings it was! Fished from 3.30 til 9.30pm, starting at the very top of the beat, and began catching straight away with all falling to paste-wrapped pellet (for once the mighty meat did not do the business as predicted by G.S)...had the place to ourselves, so working our way down slowly, ended the day with 8 barbel to 8 1/2lbs, (avg 5-6lbs) with several lost along the way on barbless hooks - including one crafty chub who did a great job of outwitting a certain chub expert ;) had such a good time i don't think we even made it half way down the beat, canoe traffic was next to none, bailiff Adam very friendly and helpful, and highlight of the day was seeing a huge salmon clear the water right in front of us in the Vanstone pool - looked to be a hefty double. Great fun was had by all! Thanks WUF.

First time fishing this beat and I was not disappointed. 5 B.Trout to 12" and about half dozen small feisty Salmon parr. The water level was good and the clarity in the faster water was excellent, but the deeper slower glides were a bit cloudy. The best method was fishing ptn and spider "waterhen boa" duo down and across in areas where this was possible. Later in the day dry fly was effective "tan klink" to fish rising now and then. Plenty of fly life, caddis, upwings and big yellow sally mayfly. encountered quite a few goosanders.
On a whole a fantastic day and I will be back thank you WUF.
