Fishing the upper beat and fished 100yards below the disused railway bridge. There are 47 steps down to the river and when you get there it didnt appear anyone had fished there for a while. I didnt find any more ready swims. But if you dont mind that you can make your swim, it is a bit steep though. The river was a bit higher and coloured compared to the previous day at Caradoc. After about two minutes I caught my first barbel. I ended up with nine weights, 5.14, 7.9, 5,4, 6.13, 6.3, 5, 4,and 6.9lbs. Also lost three. A good day, all caught on the large halibut pellet again, couldn't get bite on luncheon meat. Its a nice stretch if you dont mind a bit of bank clearing! All fish caught between 13.00 and 18.00. Thanks WUF.

River in flood. Gave it a few hours but conditions against me. No fish caught, nice stretch of river just pity about the weather.

River up and pushing through. Caught 11 Barbel in swim at tail of Bridge Pool.

2 barbel and 2 dace.

2 Barbel and 1 Chub to pellet feeder. Short 3 hour evening around Quarry Pool.

Fished for 5 hours in the pool below bridge not a bite! Tried every thing. Very disappointed as I have allways done well before. Might be something to do with the opposite bank now being fished on this day there was three anglers all casting over to the side I was fishing! Would have tried other swims but these are few and with bad access.
Plus 4 other "Club" anglers arrived later in the morning taking up any remaing swim. Will not return.

Second day on this beat again anglers fishing on the opposit bank. I can see this being a problem in future. We finished with 6 barbel and 1 chub all caught on the pellets and boillies.

Second days fishing on WUF waters. This is quite a challenging beat but worth the effort although now the opposit bank is fished on WUF tickets this does put pressure on the popular areas. None the less we still had a good day landing 11 barbel up to 9lb, all caught on pellets and boillies.

17 barbel and 4 chub evenly split between us caught on a mixture of pellet hookbaits fished below open end feeders filled with groundbait and pellets. We fished swims around the top access point. Mainly 4 to 5lb class, biggest just over 8lb. Excellent WUF directions, doubt we would have found the top entrance without them.

We had another excellent days fishing, the river was in perfect condition. We fished several swims along the beat. J finished with 19 barbel and 2 chub, I finished with 13 barbel and 2 chub. The barbel were of good stamp 5lb to 8.5lb, the chub were up to 4lb. Thank you WUF for a first class service and a fantastic fishery.
