Feedback & Reports

1 small Chub about 3lbs caught and 2 Barbel, one 4lb and one 8lb fish. All fish were healthy with no signs of damage to the body. They were caught on boilies and pellets and the fish released after catching. The fishing was not great as the river was quite high.

Great day, lovely weather. Caught two small brown trout, both returned, both on small dry fly which was with the kind help of the other rod on the river.

1st visit to Courtfield - not my day, fished 7:30 to 19:00 and blanked. River plenty of colour and pushing through (as 1st visit could not compare or comment on whether this flow is normal but my guess is up on what would be expected at this time of year). Tried several swims and baits, very bright clear sunny day did not help - that's my excuse!

Very Hot day on this lovely lake. Spent the day surface fishing to finally bank an 8lb common carp. I wont tell you about the ones I lost, its emabaressing!

A very bright and fine day. I caught one 3/4 lb trout at the side of the Bridge Pool at 2pm when there was a brief rise. In the morning on the lower beat I saw one salmon moving upstream. I stayed at the Manor Hotel which was welcoming, clean, good food and a pleasant place to stay.

Nil seen or caught.

Arrived at the beat at midday to find water a bit coloured but level & flow good. Whilst tackling up I noticed that across from the car park, fish were regularly rising so took that as a good sign to fish dry and tied on trusty Adams. The rest of the day saw fish rising steadily to a variety of flies with fish taken from several ideal dry fly stretches. One run in particular delivered several fish, one after the other. I felt rather like Skues's Mr Castwell who ended up in heaven and was condemned by St Peter to fish for ever the same spot whilst fish were still rising there.
Great day, lovely spot, 15 trout to a good pound and a quarter......pretty much like heaven I imagine!

The river conditions looked perfect but we Struggled to find fish with only 3 barbel caught between 6lb to 7lb 4oz, all were caught on pellet. This stretch of the Wye is in a nice setting but is snaggy & as for the walk we would say it is 1/2 mile to the river bank then another 1/2 mile to any descent barbel swims so travel light!!!
PS - Hopefully the WUF can do something better for the access to this nice stretch of water?

Fished from 9am-2pm. Caught two chub and one roach between two anglers. We had been in the area for three days and found the fishing harder than usual. We stayed at Tresseck campsite in Hoarwithy and found it to be very well run and good value.

3 barbel, 9lb, 7lb and 6lb caught on halibut pellets. A very nice place to spend the day fishing, thank you.
