Feedback & Reports

This is the second visit to Middle Hill Court and it was better than the first. We had 8 fish between us 7 barbel and 1 chub. They were caught on pellet and boillie. The chub came in at 4lbs 9oz and the best barbel was 9lbs 2oz. My son and fishing buddy (both named Martin) enjoyed the fishing and we intend to return later in the year if we can find a b&b in the area.
many thanks

We arrive with a dropping river after fishing Lower Hill Court the previous day, very bad rain was with us all day long. We got soaked by the time we left at 6pm the river was rising very fast gaining 3 foot in less than 1 hour. Good luck to those who fish today, conditions were horrible and fishing was very hard patchy. 1 chub in the morning 1 fish lost, then about 4 pm we had a good spell and the barbel came on. We had 4 each, 1 4lbs the rest 6lbs, with 2 about 8lbs 6oz by my friend M K. We earned those fish enduring very heavy rain all day. By 6pm we had enough, not bad considering conditions. The day ended with 8 barbel, 3 Chub and 2 more barbel lost. First trip of the year, fish are on top form, very strong long battles on the high water, thanks to my friend for the help BARBOLESCUS.

Interesting day on Middle Hill. River rising at the start of the day and a few whole trees seen going past in the high water. Started fishing the top end and b.h. Had 2 barbel 8lb & 5lb. In the evening moved down below parsons tree stream and the rope b.h. Had 2 more barbel and lost 1. Around the 7 lb mark. I.w. had 6 barbel in an hour all between 6 & 8 lb mark. River rising and may be unfishable if this rain keeps up Monday. Word of warning banks are very slippery underfoot, put landing net handle in to check depth at one point and had over 8ft of water a foot out. Looking forward to returning. Thanks wuf.

Barbel to 7lbs, chub to nearly 5 (+ an eel), all on PL meat in slacker water. River rising slightly & very coloured. Some tricky/slippery areas on bank but super day. Good assistance/advice from Adam.
