Feedback & Reports

River went into flood over night, low and clear the previous day to 3 feet plus today! Still had another great day on the Wye. Tricky due to conditions but with effort where willing to feed, most falling to pellet feeder and most of the chub to cheese. Thank you WUF.

Nice weather for fishing and nice river but good equipment needed. The river was quite big due to latest rains. Fish were rising in the evening but didn't bite except one small brown trout which was safely returned.

9 x trout 6-13 inches, several 12 inch fish, on Rusty Klinkhammer. I probably missed as many again. Despite the rain and a tinge of colour in the water, these streams haven't risen, so fish still very spooky in low pools and the bed of the stream still covered with slime. A windy day, so fish were interested in whatever was blowing out of the trees.

Just a spur of the moment "quick hit " session...River quite high on arrival but was dropping like the clappers! Dropped 18" while we were there. Fishing quite sporadic but pleased to end with 3 barbel to about 7lb, 4 chub and an eel all on feeder fished pellet.

River was fairly high and coloured, as a result there was a lot of debris. Fished from the right hand bank, just below the bridge with luncheon meat on a running ledger. All Barbel, bar one, were 5lb+ with one pushing 9lb. Largest Chub 3lb+.
Great service from the WUF thankyou for a great day!

Great to explore this beat - water levels spot on but rather coloured and hopping up and down all day. Nothing contacted bar a couple of trout; will return!

Fished The Creel stretch for the first time, but it won't be the last! A delightful stretch of river in a beautiful setting. Fishing was hard work due to huge rafts of floating weed coming down the river. But after finding an area where I could present a bait I was rewarded with 9 barbel and 3 chub. Looking forward to a return visit.

Tough day with an increase in water level and pace washing a lot of weed and debris down river. Conditions forced us to fish the meadow stretch and we managed a few fish to pellet fished on running leads. Biggest barbel was about 8lb, chub were about 2lb. We were due a not so good day as previous recent visits to Courtfield have been great. Back late August for another try!

River virtually unfishable after heavy rain. Highly coloured with strong downstream winds. Two trout caught at end of afternoon as river fined down a little.
