River very low. Day ruined by trees being chainsawed and chipped up most of the day. Extremely noisy and annoying. Road closed meaning couldn't access other end of beat without massive detour. Fished 10am-10pm. Between us only had 2 real bites (barbel most likely), one resulting in a lost fish. Pellets used. A day to forget. Saw a mink by edge of river.

Chub 1-4lbs feeder hair pellet. Banks steep slippy when wet, tough to net fish from

Lovely stretch as per usual on this wonderful river. Sadly no barbel today but the river was running low and clear and it was super hot. Having said that some great chub sport was had early on fishing from the salmon croy lower down with all fish being returned safely. Once the sun was up it was too hot ????. Lovely stretch and a really nice owner and one I’ll be back to fish

Parking was an issue at this beat, fished 0600-1200, had one good take but got cut off. The other was eels, steep banks are not for the frail, but I managed okay.

Staying nearby and always wanted to fish Courtfield in April so took advantage of a half price evening ticket to have a look. Signs at water plant say strictly no parking anywhere conflicting advice in the beat notes, so moved and parked on verge near Leg meadow crib. Opted to spin as river slow/low and short of time/new beat to me. Generally there's lots of deep slow water but spinning gaps between trees through legg meadow strangely felt excellent and several pike follows and a jack took a SHFC. Cribs through wood were lovely, then drove to lower end pools for a few casts. No Salmon seen but enjoyed a nice short evening session, easy welly boot spinning covered some interesting water. Many thanks to all allowing us to fish here.
