Feedback & Reports

Fished 11am - 4pm. Difficult going on a high river. Great access to water but really pushing through.

turned up to find river bank high walked whole beat but no swims available so two disappointed anglers returned home

River almost at bank full so an aborted trip, I threw my heaviest team of Disco Shrimps into the fast flowing gloom but to no avail.

Feeder fishing, river in flood, pellet and meat.

River was running high and fast. Swims at the croy end of the beat were inaccessible due to river level so we fished mainly in the first meadow. Ledgered a pellet hookbait in the near side slack water and caught steadily until around 3pm when the bites dried up. Should be just right in a couple of days.

After yesterday’s struggles on the Creel and the rains falling heavily most of the night, we were not overly optimistic arriving at the river and seeing it very high. Found the swims with the slacker water and hoped for the best. Not a single bite all morning and with a river still rising, hopes were diminishing rapidly. After we stopped for a bite to eat at lunchtime the barbel must have decided it was feeding time too. 5 barbel to just over 10lb and a couple of small chublets was a pleasant surprise in such a swollen river. Plus the sun came out!
As a footnote we stayed at the Hostelrie at Goodrich and we can highly recommended it, good food, beers and wonderful staff.

Heavy Rain overnight raised the river level by 0.5 metres so sadly no fishing was possible - beautiful stretch of the Irfon - already planning our next visit
