Another good day on the Wye, shame the chub were so active getting to the bait before the barbel. I had 10 barbel and 19 chub, David had 9 barbel and 37 chub. Fishery well maintained as always.

Again a second visit to this beat but unfortunately over night rain increased river level to about 2 feet with very coloured water. Tried an hour Polish nymphing but couldn't get into the main stream as current too strong. Glad to know it was the river conditions not the fishing
that beat me this time.

No Fish caught

Day started with a rather blustery morning, but things settled around 2pm. A couple to the dry fly, but eventually the sun became to much so switched to nymphs in the deeper channels which was a good choice. A lovely days fishing.

Lake was lifeless, midges in abundance. Got eaten alive for 2 hours then gave up. Does this lake ever get stocked?

4 Barbel

Couple of average hill stream trout. I was there taking photos of others fishing so my return is not really representative of the fishing. The others did better - or as well as three people fishing together on a small stream can expect.

A challenging day, arrived at first light to find the river rising very slowly. But then began to fall around late morning. Caught the majority of the fish in the faster water. The river then began to rise again which added a foot of extra water from 4.30 to 7 when we decided to call it a day.

Arrived with high hopes after a red letter day here last year. Made the very arduous trek around and back into the woods to the magic spot by the big rock. But a river level about a foot up on last year made all the difference, or maybe it was the high pressure and sunlight. Whatever the cause the outcome was only a single barbel of 7 pounds in the woods in the afternoon and then a blank evening in the lower field. Never mind, we will be back.

1 Barbel

Another great day at Caradoc, the weather was perfect for a spot of touch ledgering in the shallows, all fish caught on pellets, thank you WUF for having this great beat on your books.
