Feedback & Reports

River quite clear, a couple of good hatches where fish were taking from the surface especially right at the bottom of the beat and near the top. Got better towards evening. Grayling caught pretty much by accident about 2 feet from where I was fishing as I was reeling in to head off to the pub.

I was surprised to see the river so high at this time of year and quite coloured. Decided to float fish for first half of the day catching several chub. Then in afternoon when canoes slowed down cast feeder out a few times to feed the swim then rested for 30 mins before casting out. Had a steady run of chub and barbel just into dark up to just over 7lbs and chub to just over 4 pounds. Wonderful place to fish in such beatific surroundings still good value at 25 pounds a day, I will be back.

5 Barbel, 10 Chub

First time on How Caple Court. We were impressed with the beat and the swims, well maintained and plenty to choose from.
We walked the entire beat and started in the first ones either side of the tree line access. 1 chub first cast in one and nothing in the other so we moved. I went downstream a couple of pegs and MP went upstream. I had one barbel one hour later and MP dropped on a couple of barbel. MP kicked my butt finishing with 10 chub to 3lb and 5 Barbel to 8lb 15oz. KB finished with a poor 2 Barbel and 4 Chub. Lovely beat with good swims. Good to be back on the river again????.

A beautiful afternoon in a stunning place. Fell in, on the way to the first pool...complete change of clothes required! 30 minutes later, In the neck of the rectory, a small pull in the middle of the river and I wondered? The fly swing another yard and it tightened up gently, Chub I thought, turned out to be a 5lb silver Grilse. Nothing further until my last run through the same pool, at the very end fishing the rectory itself and whilst I wasn't paying attention, a wonderful strong take, taking a couple,of yards of line off the reel, a cracker headed down stream. After one hell of a tussle, a snorting aerial silver 13lber came over the net. Result! Can't wait to return to this addictive beat. Thanks WUF.
