Feedback & Reports

Did not fish due to water levels and temperature.

Arrived at 1pm with very low expectations due to the heat . Almost immediately I saw some barbel flashing in some streamer weed, normally a good sign they are in the mood. First cast a barbel lost, second cast a barbel landed 7lbs, the day continued to give steady sport until I packed up at 9.30. Biggest fish 8lbs
If you like peace and tranquility whilst fishing, Caradoc on a hot day is not for you! The swimmers, dogs, kayaking will test your patience, but I think the fish are used to it

River was low and weather conditions were bright, warm and breezy. 4 chub on trotted meat, and 9 on either legered meat or 12mm boilie. Best fish was about 3 3/4lb.

deeper fast flow sections fished. it was good fishing in varying conditions catching all day. Static methods used for simplicity for my son. I was uncertain if we would get a barbel on the feeder due to water conditions, but perseverance paid off. rolling and trotting would have been preferred,

Despite a cooler overcast day, hard going. River low and clear. All fished the beach area in the first half of the day, few spots to run a float through and have a paddle. All the chub caught here and notable nimber of swims on the opposite bank. nterestingly there's some half decent ranunculus growth on the cleanest gravel at the upstream part of the bridge. Down stream was a lot of smothered stones in algae looking very unhealthy. A few idiots in canoes, and some selfish dog walkers throwing stones in the river. Tried the croys by the salmon hut where I spotted a few barbel but only an eel. Finally scratched the Caradoc itch to fish the beach, and I think there's better beats so won't plan on a return.

2nd day, cloudy early evening helped with the Barbel coming on to pellets earlier than yesterday, although we did have a good start up to around 10:30 with a few Barbel, but then disappeared due to to the bright sunshine.

Hard going in the full sunlight, Barbel all came in last hour .

Fished with small pellets on the hair and light feeders fished to the shelter of the far bank willows.
Arrived late and finished early. The fish were tightly grouped.

A fantastic venue with many options. We really enjoyed our time at Caradoc.

Only fished for four hours because of the heat. All fish fell to either meat or pellet, trotted through via a stick float. Very enjoyable and a beautiful stretch of river.
I did notice that new pegs have been created on the opposite bank.
