A wonderful gillie on this beat - really recommend you book him (Mick). Despite his best efforts, there was little chance of catching anything today as it was canoes everywhere, from the start of the day to the end of the day.

A bit of a pointless day's fishing. If I'd known it would be this full of canoes I wouldn't have come.

A nice few hours in the morning.. 3 to olive sedge

3 Trout

Excellent day’s nymphing. Used two beaded nymphs on a French leader rig. Most of the fish were in the 9 to 12 inch bracket with the biggest at 15 inches.

Having not fished caradoc for a couple of years it was great to be back fishing such a great venue.
Due to the low conditions I headed for the beach section below the bridge(fast water).
Although very clear, started off float fishing corn, feeding hemp & corn.
Within 45 minutes had my first barbel of 6lb. Then over the next two hours had 3 more decent size barbel and 3 small barbel, 6 small chub. Such a nice way to catch barbel on the float. From mid afternoon I went on the pellet feeder and had a further 5 barbel up to 8lb, also 6 small chub.
If a warm day be prepared for dogs , horses, cows and quite a few swimmers to be in the river. Oh! and don't for get the canoes. But all this didn't stop me catching.
Thank you Wye & Usk.

12 Barbel, 12 Chub

Weather very warm and humid. River surly low with small amount of colour. All fish caught on pellet. Well keep beat

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

A nice morning on this lovely stretch. Hooked a large'ish trout that got away (for the second day running) and thoroughly enjoyed the stretch. I'll BE BACK!

Fished the woods section. 9 barbel (around 5lb to 8lb) and 3 chub (all around 4lb) caught throughout the day, all on pellet and feeder. Lost 3 more barbel in snags and plenty of end tackle!!

9 Barbel, 3 Chub

Very hot day and difficult to tempt much. A couple of grayling grabbed my sedges. River was quite low really which was just as well as I took a dunking. After drying out went back to meet the owner for the evenng rise but still struggled to get a take, even with a 12' leader ( although this may have been due to my casting ability). Many thanks Shaun. Decided to head off to the Elan tomorrow.
