Fishing was ruined by people swimming in your swim all day .

Very difficult day. Very hot and swamped with kids and dogs swimming

4 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fished below the suspension bridge. Beautiful spot but fishing not helped by bright sunlight and swimmers in the river. Barbel on krill boilies and chub on sweetcorn and marine halibut boilies.

Very Pleasant day at this very nice beat and despite being promised rain, we stayed dry and hot all day . Chub small to medium size throughout the day and Barbel moved into the area at lunch time. All between 5 and 7 pounds, with a few that didn't make it to the net. All caught on pellets or meat.

On a sunny day Caradoc can be a very busy venue judging by previous reports and even on a cloudy one there were people swimming in the river.....The fishing however can be rewarding in a beautiful place and fortunately for me this was the case on this visit.
Only one rod fished and I caught 6 Barbel with the best fish being just under 9lb.I lost one and bumped a couple more off in a productive day which also produced a few 8oz small Chub too. Rather curiously though I caught nothing on the float trotting pellet despite giving this method some considerable effort and time....There were also some fairly friendly cattle which at one stage broke out in a bit of a gallop which was certainly a bit of an eye opener. With the opposite bank controlled by BAA and a syndicate there is plenty of angling pressure here too so you need a few things going for you to enjoy this beat.

Warm and bright. No barbel showing today.

Poor fishing - nothing in the fast run below footbridge. No weed or signs of fish.

Nice fishery looks wise, not been here previously and packed up mid afternoon to get back to Hertfordshire at a reasonable time.
Will come back and give it another go in September.

A few chublets caught trotting pellet
