None caught, although a fish seen at 9am by 1st Crib. Fished a 1.5" Willie Gunn with a 15ft 7ips tip. Thank you Jerry Lewis the ghillie, who kindly provided some excellent advice.

Fished fly and spinner without any luck. Saw two decent fish.

A very warm day for the time of year, with the water running at 12 degrees C at 6:30am. Mixture of fly and spinning: varied on water depth.
The only fish seen were 1. a trout being chased by a pike; 2. a very decent sized trout in the margins upstream of the croy outside the fishing hut. No fish caught, but a very enjoyable day nonetheless.

12lbs, top croy spinning at 11-30 am yesterday. River dropping and clearing.

1 Salmon

Fished for most of the afternoon. No fish seen or caught sadly - river was probably too high to be fishing anyway. I only saw one canoeist which is quite odd for the beat and time of year. Lovely beat to fish from.

Fished the day mostly on the fly in perfect water conditions but in an increasingly gusty and at times gale force wind. No salmon seen but a very enjoyable day on the river and our first on this beat. One 1lb trout caught and returned after engulfing a large Park Shrimp tube!

1 Trout

Caradoc off the mark with the first fish of the season, a 19lb hen fish caught by David Harrington spinning with a blue + silver minnow.

1 Salmon

Fished through the beat with fly and spinner. Nothing seen, nothing caught but a great day all the same.

Caradoc Beat - River Wye. Cool wind with sunny periods. River was in perfect condition. We saw a good fish show in Poulston late on in the day and look forward to returning
when it is a little warmer!!

A pleasant day but no sign of salmon.
