Lovely stretch but difficult choosing a peg because ya can't seem to get on the east water, struggled but one barbel of 9lb was caught plus chub and eels. Baits used were meat and pellets. The wildlife on display was fantastic in beautiful scenery.

This was my second visit to this beat. Unfortunately it didn't match the first time I fished here but I did manage to pull 3 good sized barbel out, all 3 about 7lb. I still enjoyed the fishing here and will be back again.

River still up and a little coloured. Barbel fell to both trotting and ledger fishing.

Fantastic day's fishing. Overcast with a little colour in the water. Fish caught on 8mm pellets.

Blisteringly hot day with blue skies, we had no problem with locating fish or watching them take free offerings, however they were not playing ball with hookbaits and we struggled throughout the entire stretch.
Many canoes..!

Moved swim many several times to find the fish. Many of the Barbel were small. Lovely stretch of water. We will return again

The last of five days on Howcaple first three days river carrying some colour and overcast barbel feeding well, then colour dropped out and weather got hot and sunny best times early morning and evening, all fish caught on pellet and hemp in feeder, best two barbel 8lb and 9lb all fish fought as only Wye barbel do with savage bites and powerful first runs heart stopping stuff. This outing gave a good chance to try my new mark Tunley 1.75lb dark carbon barbel rod great action and superb build quality, if you are looking for a new rod check out his web site, looking forward to my next visit to the lovely river Wye.
