Feedback & Reports

Good fishing conditions up until mid afternoon overcast but warm. Very sunny in the late afternoon though. Twenty seven Chub caught all on luncheon meat and bread. The Chubb caught with bread were caught float fishing, all other were on ledger. None of the Chub were below three pounds. Two eels and four Barbel were also caught, with the smallest Barbel being 8 pounds.

Took my 15 year old son fishing. He caught 3 barbel and a chub, biggest barbel 11lb, all caught on pellet and feeder method.
Not to be beaten, I caught a PB Barbel 12lb, again on pellet and feeder method. A great days fishing.

A very long and hard day, rewarded by a 10lb 8oz barbel, the best of 3 caught. One small chub around 2lb. River very coloured for the level that it was at.

10-1400 lots of midge some olives. No rises so prospected with various dry/emergers and small yellow klink produced one 6"wbt. What a sport for grown men! Water good I think but first time here and only half of bottom section covered. Will be back for sure.

Ledger tactics with mixed pellet feed + halibut pellet hook bait.

Once again the river was lower than the last visit. The barbel were all around the 4lb mark with a couple 14" fish. The chub were all the normal 2-3 lb mark although did catch a warrior chub of 4lbs 13oz. The biggest surprise was a monster chub of 6lbs 2oz - a beautiful fish. Will be much larger in the winter. Stunning!

I am very disappointed with this beat to say the least. As well as wasting my money and my time here as I am unfamiliar with the area, I had to rely on the info supplied by WUF.
I drove up and down this part of the roadway many times for the 2 so called parking spots that were only available to fish on the Courtfield beat only to find both spots already had a green van parked on one and a white van parked on the other.
I got so fed up with this situation I left the Courtfield beat not being able to fish here. It was a very dissappointing start to my 3 day Wye fishing trip in which I have waited so long to do.

WUF note - The beat owners details are provided on the booking confirmation paperwork. Anglers are advised to contact the fishery owner before the day of fishing. There is also the option to contact the owner on the day of fishing. Failing that, there is also a telephone number of the WUF office on the booking confirmation.

Most fish caught on halibut pellets with pva or feeder. Water levels very low and bright sunshine.
