Feedback & Reports

From past experience we knew this beautiful lake could fish very well on its day. We had also been told that when it is dour, it is pretty dour. This was a something-in-between day with a chilly and variable wind, intermittent showers, and occasional short spells of sunshine. The day showed early promise when one of us took a fish on the third cast and another followed quite quickly. But then there would be long quiet spells with nothing showing at all. In the end we took 10 fish between us, the best two around the 12oz mark. The wind made the eastern shore pretty much impossible all day, so it wasn't always easy to keep moving to undisturbed water - it was certainly a good job there weren't five rods trying to fish it! All the fish came to traditional wet flies: black pennell; green peter; connemara black; and daddy long legs. A great day all in all and well worth the long drive.

A difficult day on a new stretch for us. River was high, coloured and fast flowing. We found two anglers fishing with two rods each when we arrived, poachers perhaps?
The banks were pretty treacherous due to the rain and not all swims were fish able. I blanked, not a bite all day but my friend had 6 barbel to 10lb 14 oz which was his first double from the Wye.Two more trips to Caradoc booked in the next couple of weeks, hopefully better days to come!

Fishing slow! Had 13 barbel and 1 chub as on Hallibuts.
Keep your eyes on the cows!

4 barbel and 1 chub caught on elipse pellets. River well up and chocolate in colour. A beautiful stretch of river to fish.

Another lovely day on the Wye. Fishing was slow but finished with 7 barbel to 9lb and a chub of 5lb. Halibut pellet on ledger.

Was only able to fish for a short time and did not contact anything, but a very enjoyable visit nevertheless.

Ideal conditions with the water level just below the croys, however didn't see any salmon nor catch any.

Water still very high & coloured, although we did give it a fish where the wading wasn't too dangerous; One small trout took a very large, heavy Alley Shrimp tube on a sink line. No salmon seen or caught.

Caught 6 rainbow trout using worm as bait.

15lbs cock fish on an orange rapala late in the evening after a fruitless afternoon with the fly, less a lovely brown trout just under 2lbs on a size 10 cascade. Water still quite high and a little too mucky, though clearing - tomorrow should be perfect! Fish was coloured and returned.
