Feedback & Reports

An amazing beat, excellent access and loads of fishable water.

WUF Notes : 2 x Chub to 2lbs. 2 x BARBEL to 7lbs. All caught on pellets

Weather changeable and river fairly coloured. Single rod caught 5 Barbel to 8lbs and 2 chub to 4lbs. Great fishing. Barbel in superb condition and put up very stubborn resistance.

3 Barbel, 5lbs-7lbs. Caught on Pellet. One lost fish as well, they were very hard fighting fish

Six Chub, all 3?lb. An enjoyable days fishing, though a little hard.

I fished Glanusk on 1st July 2008. Difficult fishing conditions during the day - hot and bright.

Caught four brown trout (and lost four more, including one I estimated at over two pounds). Probably could have caught a few more had I started a bit earlier and stayed a bit later. But it is a wonderful beat.

With thanks and best wishes.

Great day, nymph key to catching most fish including the biggest, plenty well over the pound, rising to the f fly later in the day

WUF Notes : Conditions. good height, clear and cold, warming in strong sun later. Fly-hatches: some sedge, yellow may, medium olives and black gnat. 15 Brown Trout to 17?"

Best days fishing ever on a river but thats not saying a lot for me, thanks for your help and advice Frank Williams!

Started about lunch time caught a lovely 12 inch'ish brownie on my first cast with a black klinkhammer, after a bit of stalking, at the very bottom of the beat.No sign of any other fish rising.

Nymphed my way up the rest of the beat and caught another 2 brownies and 3 Grayling all about 12" plus

Hung around the second pool that stretches from the bridge down to the first faster running water, about 75 yards? for about 2 hours, sporadic rises only.

Packed up and got a pint from the Bell, stood on the bridge looked down to see fish rising all over the place but it was about 9.45 by then..... but I was tempted!

Thank you very much for all your help with organising our trip to Caradoc, Whitney Court and Doldowlod.
N.C. and I had the following catches:

Caradoc: 18 barbel to 8lb 12oz, 6 chub to 3lb 12 oz. Chub to floating breadcrust, barbel to sweetcorn and pellets. Fantastic day all round.

Whitney Court: 1 barbel 8lb 13oz, 9 chub to 4lb 6oz (most over 3lbs), 2 lost trout to retrieved sweetcorn! Excellent day.

Doldowlod: Novice river fly anglers but 3 small trout, 3 small grayling all to nymphs. Challenging and a great antidote to quivertipping.

All in all some of the best river fishing we have had. Please pass our thanks to all your staff and the various riparian owners for a splendid few days.

Kind regards

3 Brown Trout - 8" to 10". Moved a couple of larger fish.... close but no cigar!

Catch report for 3 rods :19 x barbel 8lb 3oz, 11 x chub 5?lbs
