Feedback & Reports

River was very low & clear, all fish caught in evening apart from 1 chub, biggest barbel was about 8lb, all fish caught from the top end of beat in the deeper water. Quite a few canoe's around lunch time some of whom spent more time in the water than in the canoe which put paid to the fishing for a couple of hours it was a very hot day so we left the fishing for a pint in the Mill Race pub. After some refreshments in the pub we returned & walked the whole beat but decided to stick with the deeper water at the top where the barbel eventually started to show

7 Barbel, 3 Chub

River low and clear and weather not ideal. Most of the fish were caught after 4pm to pellet. I wish I had taken waders to try and stalk some fish out of the shallow runs when the sun was high. Perfect conditioned hard fighting fish. Biggest barbel was 8lb and biggest chub was 4lb 2oz.

Nice to be back at Middle hill Court this is are third trip to this beat. Fished the 8th and 9th on Middle Hill Court, fishing was hard. River was low and slow, with bight sun shine all day, not best fishing weather but put in the effort and you will be rewarded. Fished all of the swims that were accessible, quite a few that would have liked to fish but were to over grown. Most of the fish came from two swims along the beat with the biggest being 9 lb 1oz. we Had three 8's and three 7's as well as some smaller ones.
Would like to thank WUF for two good days fishing, will definitely be back next year.

Weather too hot, put the fish off managed 1 barbel
river level low

My favourite beat on the WUF. Although we as had a very productive day on the bank as with other beats we visited on our trip, access to parts of the beat were unmaintained, thus unfishable. For the fee that anglers pay the upkeep of the beat should be paramount to make anglers want to return again.

We fished on Middle Hill Court, it was a very wet day and the fishing was very difficult. We managed 2 good Barbel about 8lbs and 5 chub the best was about 4lbs. So a decent catch given the conditions.
