Conditions perfect. Just could not get fish to feed.
Poor day for this venue

Despite fishing hard for 5 or so hours, float and leger, different spots, different baits......not a touch!
Beat 3 and 4, honestly, quite disappointing and too much to pay, says £20 and then you get the admin' charge of £3??
Really quite pretty, but fishing has become expensive and the lack of spontaneity by having to book in advance all needs to be addressed in my opinion if this system is going to be sustainable.

Fishing Passport Note : Booking in advance is not required. You can book on the day providing there is availability. There are many other cheaper and less exclusive club fisheries to choose from if affordability is an issue.

It's been 3 years since I came to this beat. It's not my favourite; it gets deep and slow and not ideal for fly-fishing. I had a few takes and landed a couple for small trout, but there was very little activity.

Even perfect water conditions and the flies so kindly given to us by PB yesterday were not enough for GT to catch a fish. More patience, time on the water and skill/lessons needed we think!

A good day at How Caple Court although getting on the fish was a bit of a challenge. My colleague had a lovely 8.9 barbel on the float and I picked up two smaller ones on the feeder.

12 lb stale cock and 4 lb fresh grilse this am . 8 lb stale cock yesterday evening. Plenty of fish showing but water still too high and coloured for ideal conditions. Seasons total still a meagre 9 salmon though fishing effort has been low for a number of reasons

3 Salmon

Water looked promising but after several hours of uncomfortable casting along Lady Alexander's Catch, Stone Catch and Abernant Stream I retired defeated. No fish sense or heard.

Lots of boat traffic today!

The river was looking good and so was the weather but I didn’t find many fish. Fished the meadow with pellets and feeder. Tried the inside line with no success and then further out when canoes final stopped.
