Some rain on arrival but a lovely day followed. river very low. walked down the stretch to find an angler half across the river fishing into the swims this side. Chose a swim upstream of this and caught steadily all day. beautiful stretch one of our favourites. Just an absolute pleasure to be there.

Barbel fishing on How Caple better than ever!

All fish came to pellet fished with an open feeder in the faster water. The fish responded to the feeder hitting the water, and were all caught within 10 minutes of casting out.
Very weedy! Free weed flowing downstream constantly. Had to keep recasting, but that was fine as the fish were straight on the bait.

Note: The banks are steep at this venue and on the day, there was a drop of 3 foot to the river. Could the owners consider creating a safer platform on 1 or 2 swims that would make the venue more suitable for anglers of all agility.

Just fished for a couple of hours in the morning. Very interesting and varied beat.

More overcast today, but sun kept breaking through at times.
Landed 5 barbel, all around 7lbs but didn't weigh them as wanted to minimise the time spent out of the water and they weren't big enough to warrant weighing anyway. Lost 1 fish.
All returned strongly.
All on pellet feeder.

Fished faster water but failed to register a proper bite. Lots of weed coming down, but still an enjoyable day.
