River 0.9m a bit high but perfect colour. Had a slightly coloured 10lber on a large Conehead Feeler Cascade. Then had an arm aching 20 minute battle before losing an estimated mid twenties brute at the net. Anyone know of a sympathetic counsellor (Also afflicted by salmon madness) ?

Conditions looked great and How Caple provides a good variety of swims in all conditions. However it fished hard.
Most barbel (two sixes and an eight) to one rod in the slack water and the rest of us struggled. Other was an eel. Gb feeders and assorted hookbaits, barbel fell to red pellets.

I haven't been to this beat before and it is a fabulous tretch of river. Some was not fishable due to the height of the water, but it is varied with lots of places to have a crack. Such a shame then there were no fish! I caught only 1 small trout. Odd that, as I usually catch several. but there were no other fish seen, heard or touched. I had REALLY hoped to have at least SEEN a salmon...

River very high and pushing through. Three barbel caught by Pete in a swim with a nice slack. Hard to hold anywhere else.

Back again for a few hours this morning, unfortunately day ended up being very bright and sunny with no ripple on the water the trout put their heads down and I could not stay all day. However managed 3 small Browns all on the Dry fly and missed two takes. Not much showing but the Cdc/Elk pattern does tend to bring them up on even the quietest of days.

Fished llywn on using worm, no fish caught.

Great day, had the beat to myself. Fished dawn till around 3pm. All fish came to feeder tactics with paste wrapped boilie hookbaits. The highlight was a magnificent Barbel of 9lb 12oz. Lovely views and a good amount of swims. Thoroughly enjoyable fishing and very peaceful.
