Level still a higher than I would have liked. Colour dropping away. Another day and would have been perfect. Tried fly, flying c and Evans but no joy. Nothing seen.

Quite apart from the incredible weather, the fishing was excellent. Started of on the beach where I lost two fish before landing one. Decided to move to the top of the stretch for a bit more shelter from the winds. Had eleven fish from one swim including two over 8lb and one at 9lb 4oz.

As always a great day was had on Caradoc, a truely lovely stretch of the wye.

First time at this venue, I drove along the bank (a big plus) and stopped at a number of swims but found either access to the river difficult or someone fishing opposite. I was surprised to see quite a number of anglers on the far bank (it seems the fishing opposite is leased by BAA). Eventually settled for an area below the suspension bridge with no far bank fishing. The river was quite fast flowing over gravel about 4ft deep tried pellet & luncheon meat with feeder for just 1 chub so switched to castors and float then picked up more small chub and dace steadily but no sign of any barbel
