4 Barbel caught between 6lb and 8lb, all on Halibut pellet and open-end feeder. Fishing was hard as the river was very coloured and well up. We were limited to fishing a couple of rod lengths out with 3oz of lead due to the flow. Fished below the Bridge and in a large eddy halfway down the stretch. Nice stretch although the access track was a bit tricky to drive back up after heavy rain.

Lovely day but river felt out of sorts. Two barbel, both out of the blue, both on pellet, plus a couple of chub and chublets. Fished the bottom of the stretch for first time (Usually descend from old bridge at top. Very different at bottom - steadier flow.

Fishing the upper beat and fished 100yards below the disused railway bridge. There are 47 steps down to the river and when you get there it didnt appear anyone had fished there for a while. I didnt find any more ready swims. But if you dont mind that you can make your swim, it is a bit steep though. The river was a bit higher and coloured compared to the previous day at Caradoc. After about two minutes I caught my first barbel. I ended up with nine weights, 5.14, 7.9, 5,4, 6.13, 6.3, 5, 4,and 6.9lbs. Also lost three. A good day, all caught on the large halibut pellet again, couldn't get bite on luncheon meat. Its a nice stretch if you dont mind a bit of bank clearing! All fish caught between 13.00 and 18.00. Thanks WUF.

Fished for 5 hours in the pool below bridge not a bite! Tried every thing. Very disappointed as I have allways done well before. Might be something to do with the opposite bank now being fished on this day there was three anglers all casting over to the side I was fishing! Would have tried other swims but these are few and with bad access.
Plus 4 other "Club" anglers arrived later in the morning taking up any remaing swim. Will not return.
