2 Grayling caught on a size 20 olive nymph, river is low and clear, fished for a couple of hours. KM Hereford

Opted for the trotting method today with moderate success. My 13' trotting rod was a tad oversized for this river, but I managed! Water was quite low so had to hunt for suitable runs which inevitably were short and sweet. Tested my depth management and overall control, needless to say lots of muddles and glitches but a very enjoyable first visit. I can see this could be a peach in May and June. All fish were 6 -8" and healthy.

2 of us tried trotting for grayling for the first time. 16 grayling to the net and 3 oos trout. It's a lovely beat with fantastic scenery.

Low water very clear but a beautiful day with sporadic sunshine and cloud mix, mild Easterly wind
I only fished the Lower beat and still waiting to explore the upper beat such is the length of it.
I winkled out a couple of grayling on the nymph and a couple of decent trout on the dry dropper in the afternoon. Not much really going on , could do with a bit more water to spice it up.

I’d highly recommend How Caple Court to other anglers. It’s a historic estate, and the river is especially beautiful in autumn, set in a sheltered basin surrounded by deciduous trees. The birdlife was the best I’ve seen at any fishing venue.

The fishing was a little slow, though that may have been down to us! We still managed several fish. I had a wonderful day and look forward to coming back. Thank you.
