Feedback & Reports

We did not catch a thing. With regards to the fishing venue it was the first time I had been there and I have to say that I was very disappointed that most of the places you could fish on the were unfishable, the sides were so steep with little or no room at the bottom of the slope, there was only 1 place on the whole stretch that was actually fishable and had a flat section at the bottom of the slope (which is where we fished). When selecting a stretch of the Wye to fish we just went by the information on your website, however there was no mention at all of the steep slopes and limited fishing spots on your website. I would not fish at the Courtfield stretch again.

Nothing caught, river level was quite high.

Milder day (7-10degrees), overcast and down-stream strong breeze. Water very slightly coloured. 3x grayling up to 1lb and 2x small oos browns between two rods (and two lost fish)- all taken on hot head grub patterns up to size 10. Also saw a salmon leap!(estimated around 8lb). No fish taken.

32 x grayling 10-18 inches between 2 rods - a combination of trotting and bugging, sometimes shoulder to shoulder. At last a long-awited spring-like day at 8 degrees, lambs gambolling in the field and woodpeckers hammering. I even saw a large dark olive taken at the surface. We had some super fish: five at 17 inches and one at 18 inches.

14 chub on bread and cheese paste. River was low with a bit of colour. Most fish came from the top of the beat.

No catch.

One pike - 17lb 4oz. Lure. Nice stretch.

First time grayling fishing. Had a good description of the waters and pools etc from Mr Picton near the house where you park. Cold day, didn't rise much above 1 degree, ice on some of the flat waters. Waters although not in flood, were running fast and I would advise a wading staff as the current can be rather nerve racking at times.

Caught 4 Grayling, 2 around 3/4lb mark and 2 around 1.5lb, all caught on size 16 pink shrimp. All caught in a pool close to the far bank upstream on the islands within about 1 hour. Other than that very difficult to see where the fish may be lying.

I know it's towards the end of the Grayling season now, but it's given me a taster for it and I shall definitely be back to the Irfon for the trout and Oct/Nov for the grayling. A great day out in beautiful surroundings.

Unfortunately due to the snow overnight on thurs the river was slightly coloured with a little melt water which appeared to kill sport stone dead.

A bitterly cold day with ice in the rod rings causing problems most of the session. It had been -8 degrees overnight. River up somewhat, pushing through and with a little more colour than we would have liked. Difficult to locate the fish but we managed about 35 grayling between us up to about 1lb 12oz.
