Feedback & Reports

A very cold, steel grey skied day with a nasty chill wind made it a tad dour. The water had risen a couple of nights earlier from 11'' to 1' 4'' and it carried some coulour. The fly didn't do much and I tried a spinner for an hour and that did less. The beat notes are quite right about loosing the odd spinner in the Tree Corner pool :-)
All in all a good day,and some of the runs and pools here are tremendous fly water but in the end it was just too raw.

Beautiful stretch of river which showed potential for a future visit. However, this time the cold weather was against us. Sadly no fish but with the remains of a nice sized barbel left on the croy by an otter we will certainly be back in the summer.

Did not fish - too cold

14lb on 2" Yellow belly spinner

1 Salmon

Fished for five hours around the viaduct. I fished bread, the others feedered maggot. Nil return. Could a post code be attached to river directions? Many thanks again.

This was the second of a four venue end of season trip to the Wye, and with the water temperature dropping rapidly, we felt today was our last chance of a barbel. We had just two bites between us, resulting in one barbel landed and another lost due to a hook pull. We tried different baits and rigs, but the bites both came to the feeder and pellet approach.

1 Barbel

No fish. Very cold.

Nothing.

My first time at this location and another excellent WUF beat. The weather & the river was exceptionally cold & so my hopes weren't high - the river was also low and clear. A long walk from the car park, but well worth the trip. Tried 4 pegs and caught fish on all of them - initially chub (up to 5.5lb) and then barbel for a frantic 3 hour period before dark. Chub caught on maggott feeder and meat, with all the Barbel on small elipse pellets with micro-pellets in the feeder.

9 Barbel, 8 Chub

First time fishing Caradoc. Nice long beat with some nice fly water. Saw a few kelts jumping during the day and one well mended kelt of 9-10lb landed on a black and yellow tube. No sign of any Springers.
