Scorching hot day, beautiful stretch. River low and torpid. Fish came on the feed last few hours before dusk. Pellet feeder.

Quite a hard session with low, clear water and bright afternoon sun. Things picked up later on, despite three excited Labradors descending into my swim. The owner was suitably apologetic. I had been entertained earlier by the arrival of three separate flotillas, each of about 20 - 25 canoes, crewed by schoolchildren. One group staged a mini-regatta about a quarter of a mile upstream. However, despite their limited competence, the children were suitably equipped, properly supervised and well-behaved, so I had no real cause for complaint. Between these diversions I managed to catch barbel to 7-15 and chub up to about 3lbs.

Split the day into 2 because of the weather, fished until lunchtime managing 25 Chub to 4lb and a single Dace, all on floatfished corn. A few casts with straight lead and boilie produced 2 Barbel to near 7lb and one lost on a snag.
A return in the evening with one rod and some meat produced a further 4 Barbel to 7lb 6 oz and 2 Eels to about 2lb, a very enjoyable day indeed.

After the previous days fishing at Caradoc, we were expecting to find that the river had dropped a little overnight. We were surprised to find it had risen further and we were going to have to change our plans a little. We fished the inside line along the length of the fishery and after a slow start, we caught steadily throughout the day. Most fish caught on meat, with mini boilies not really working, whereas with a little less colour the day before it was the other way around. Overall a very enjoyable day.
