Feedback & Reports

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.

Difficult conditions with the river still dropping and the water very clear. However managed to catch 3 decent barbel, all on maggot feeder.

All of the barbel were caught between 12.30 and 3 pm. Neither of us had a bite either before or after this window of activity.

The fish were in excellent condition the biggest weighing exactly 10 pounds.
