Feedback & Reports

Very attractive beat. Unfortunately water levels quite low and clear. One pike caught, no salmon.

3 Kelts all on spinning gear. No Signs of fresh fish. River didn't feel right today. Very low, very clear and very bright but another beautiful day at Caradoc.

Three well mended kelts banked and released strong kicking, lost another two fish after brief fight and two more spotted in other pools. All action from top section. Middle beat rammed with pike, six or seven close encounters, one 8-10lbs landed accidently. A day full of tight lines but no cigar. Thank you.

Nil return.

Lost one kelt on a black and yellow tube. Caught two good browns around 2 lbs.

5 Kelts (2 lost), 3 Brown Trout, 1 Sea Trout. No signs of fresh fish but obviously loads of kelts in the river. All well mended. All taken on spinning gear. Once again a lovely day at Caradoc. The Sea Trout made my day.

A late start as going on the previous few days fishing, its important to choose your swim carefully in the low conditions. I picked a swim near the footbridge and with careful feeding, coaxed out 6 Barbel to 8lb 7oz and 7 Chub.
The other rods managed 4 Barbel between them.

First time on this beat, river up and covering the croys completely. Lots of weed and debris coming down so could only fish a rod length out, finished with 1 chub. Very picturesque and will return here next summer.

Back for another go but unfortunately so was the weather and the crowds. This is a lovely and varied beat but it's definitely a place to avoid on a sun-baked weekend (a little unexpected in October!) if you want some peace and quiet, it was like Blackpool sea front at times.
Highlight of the day was being asked by a young lady "is it ok to swim in the river or will I get fish hooks in my feet?" - ??
From a piscatorial perspective 6 barbel & 3 chub were our reward for persistence, all caught towards last knockings.

In the continuing heatwave we followed up our tough day at Whitehouse with further spectacular lack of success here. Again despite again fishing a variety of areas and baits the sum total of our efforts were 1 barbel & 2 chub.
In our defence along with the weather, the world and his wife were out and about on this beat and I'm pretty sure there were more people than fish in the river at one point! But what the heck, everyone enjoyed themselves including us and there was always tomorrow!
