Feedback & Reports

Chilly August day but great conditions for catching Barbel & Chub. Fished the fast water at the end of the beat and caught fish all day on and off, all on feeders and meat. Great beat with brilliant access.

Fishing was ruined by people swimming in your swim all day .

Very difficult day. Very hot and swamped with kids and dogs swimming

Fished below the suspension bridge. Beautiful spot but fishing not helped by bright sunlight and swimmers in the river. Barbel on krill boilies and chub on sweetcorn and marine halibut boilies.

Very Pleasant day at this very nice beat and despite being promised rain, we stayed dry and hot all day . Chub small to medium size throughout the day and Barbel moved into the area at lunch time. All between 5 and 7 pounds, with a few that didn't make it to the net. All caught on pellets or meat.

On a sunny day Caradoc can be a very busy venue judging by previous reports and even on a cloudy one there were people swimming in the river.....The fishing however can be rewarding in a beautiful place and fortunately for me this was the case on this visit.
Only one rod fished and I caught 6 Barbel with the best fish being just under 9lb.I lost one and bumped a couple more off in a productive day which also produced a few 8oz small Chub too. Rather curiously though I caught nothing on the float trotting pellet despite giving this method some considerable effort and time....There were also some fairly friendly cattle which at one stage broke out in a bit of a gallop which was certainly a bit of an eye opener. With the opposite bank controlled by BAA and a syndicate there is plenty of angling pressure here too so you need a few things going for you to enjoy this beat.
