6 barbel to 8lb 3oz

6 Barbel

River was fining down after a 2 foot rise the day before and was in good form, helped by unseasonably warm temperatures and some good cloud cover. We started in the wood swim and had a couple of Barbel and some small chub before moving up to the meadow. Using standard feeder and pellet tactics we managed a further 10 Barbel throughout the day, to just shy of 10lb with most fish in the 7-8lb bracket and at least 3 being over 9lb. A fantastic day on the river at a lovely time of year.

12 Barbel, 6 Chub, 1 Other

We started at the top section of courtfield but with no success so moved further down on the bend under the trees. We both caught steadily all afternoon on the stickfloat and feeder with the biggest chub being 5.5lb.
Sadly no barbel made an appearance.

10 Chub, 5 Other

Lure fishing for pike. Not many swims to cover but beautiful part of the Wye.

Our first visit to Courtfield in what seemed perfect conditions, a falling river with plenty of cloud cover in the evening. Considering the conditions, we were a little disappointed with our tally of one Barbel and 3 Chub. Very pleasant stretch and even when the fishing disappoints the River Wye never lets you down. kingfishers, buzzards, dragonflys, swans and a leaping salmon.

Arrived early morning following cold clear night with full moon. Fished Legg Meadow with feeder and pellet. No fish until afternoon when it clouded over and within two hours had 4 barbel on the bank to 5, 6.75, 8.75 and 9lb which was well worth the wait!

4 Barbel

First visit to the Wye for barbel. Fished the single tree swim half way down the meadow with pellets and pva. Started off with a nice chub of 4lb 8oz followed by 4 barbel. Two around the 5lb mark, one of 7lb 12oz and the biggest 8lb. A very enjoyable day.
