Blustry wind made casting a bit awkward at times but got 2 trout, 6''and 8'' on a small(22)nymph. Look out for barbed wire in the brook about 2/3 of the way up, couldn't wade the deeper parts after it had an argument with my waders.

Caught 6 fish all along the beat, had to keep moving to keep the fish coming. I must say it is the most stunning piece of water I have ever fished.

5 Rainbow on worm.

2 rods caught 8 Barbel and 11 Chub. The Barbel only showed at the beginning and end of the day in low light and were taken on a combination of meat boilies and pellet. Most of the chub were taken on cheese paste fished on a mashed bread feeder. Another great day out on the Wye.

River running well and clear. Tried everything from top to bottom without a touch all day. About to pack up at 5 when the sun shone where I was and 1 trout rose. On with a small adams, three rises, 1 at 9" landed to save me from a complete blank! After 15 mins sun went in and the river went dead again. Hope the chap who beat me to the upper beat had a better day!

2 x Barbel 7 & 9lb, caught on halibut pellet, 3 x Chub 5, 4 & 1lb, caught on spam. Fantastic location, great days fishing.

River still up and pushing hard found barbel had 5 fish plus 2 eels best barbel 7lb 6oz

From past experience we knew this beautiful lake could fish very well on its day. We had also been told that when it is dour, it is pretty dour. This was a something-in-between day with a chilly and variable wind, intermittent showers, and occasional short spells of sunshine. The day showed early promise when one of us took a fish on the third cast and another followed quite quickly. But then there would be long quiet spells with nothing showing at all. In the end we took 10 fish between us, the best two around the 12oz mark. The wind made the eastern shore pretty much impossible all day, so it wasn't always easy to keep moving to undisturbed water - it was certainly a good job there weren't five rods trying to fish it! All the fish came to traditional wet flies: black pennell; green peter; connemara black; and daddy long legs. A great day all in all and well worth the long drive.

A difficult day on a new stretch for us. River was high, coloured and fast flowing. We found two anglers fishing with two rods each when we arrived, poachers perhaps?
The banks were pretty treacherous due to the rain and not all swims were fish able. I blanked, not a bite all day but my friend had 6 barbel to 10lb 14 oz which was his first double from the Wye.Two more trips to Caradoc booked in the next couple of weeks, hopefully better days to come!

Fishing slow! Had 13 barbel and 1 chub as on Hallibuts.
Keep your eyes on the cows!
