Feedback & Reports

As mentioned some funky wading, as I found out one moment up to my waist, next moment hat washed off, a wee drift, grab hat and struggle up bank, squelch back to car!

Glad of falling in kit, which I only leave in the car for my son !!!

That was 6pm. Should have stayed till dusk but was feeling chilled so left it there. Nice beat lots of water to fish, like all of the beats needs fishers on it, and a touch of keepering to make access clear and a wee tree pruning effort.

Enjoyed the day, will be back sometime !

2 rods.. 15 Barbel. Weight range 2?lbs to 8lbs

An amazing beat, excellent access and loads of fishable water.

WUF Notes : 2 x Chub to 2lbs. 2 x BARBEL to 7lbs. All caught on pellets

Weather changeable and river fairly coloured. Single rod caught 5 Barbel to 8lbs and 2 chub to 4lbs. Great fishing. Barbel in superb condition and put up very stubborn resistance.

3 Barbel, 5lbs-7lbs. Caught on Pellet. One lost fish as well, they were very hard fighting fish

Six Chub, all 3?lb. An enjoyable days fishing, though a little hard.

I fished Glanusk on 1st July 2008. Difficult fishing conditions during the day - hot and bright.

Caught four brown trout (and lost four more, including one I estimated at over two pounds). Probably could have caught a few more had I started a bit earlier and stayed a bit later. But it is a wonderful beat.

With thanks and best wishes.

Great day, nymph key to catching most fish including the biggest, plenty well over the pound, rising to the f fly later in the day

WUF Notes : Conditions. good height, clear and cold, warming in strong sun later. Fly-hatches: some sedge, yellow may, medium olives and black gnat. 15 Brown Trout to 17?"

Best days fishing ever on a river but thats not saying a lot for me, thanks for your help and advice Frank Williams!

Started about lunch time caught a lovely 12 inch'ish brownie on my first cast with a black klinkhammer, after a bit of stalking, at the very bottom of the beat.No sign of any other fish rising.

Nymphed my way up the rest of the beat and caught another 2 brownies and 3 Grayling all about 12" plus

Hung around the second pool that stretches from the bridge down to the first faster running water, about 75 yards? for about 2 hours, sporadic rises only.

Packed up and got a pint from the Bell, stood on the bridge looked down to see fish rising all over the place but it was about 9.45 by then..... but I was tempted!

Thank you very much for all your help with organising our trip to Caradoc, Whitney Court and Doldowlod.
N.C. and I had the following catches:

Caradoc: 18 barbel to 8lb 12oz, 6 chub to 3lb 12 oz. Chub to floating breadcrust, barbel to sweetcorn and pellets. Fantastic day all round.

Whitney Court: 1 barbel 8lb 13oz, 9 chub to 4lb 6oz (most over 3lbs), 2 lost trout to retrieved sweetcorn! Excellent day.

Doldowlod: Novice river fly anglers but 3 small trout, 3 small grayling all to nymphs. Challenging and a great antidote to quivertipping.

All in all some of the best river fishing we have had. Please pass our thanks to all your staff and the various riparian owners for a splendid few days.

Kind regards
