Feedback & Reports

A very pleasant days fishing at How Caple, river was up but looked great, nice bit of colour. No fish early on so moved pegs and ended the day with three barbel , 7lb 9oz, 8lb 1oz, 5lb 7oz all in great condition. How Caple looked terrific, thanks to Andy the Gamekeeper who has done a fine job cutting back the growth with better access to the pegs.
Thank you Wye & Usk

A lot different from when we visited in September river up and water coloured. Conditions challenging with maybe not the right tackle for the job hence the catch return. Still wonderful place will return.

Tough conditions due to the height of the river but an enjoyable day spent on this stunning section of the Wye.
It was great to have a chat with the gamekeeper for this beat and to see the swims freshly strimmed ready for the start of the Season.
We will be back in more favourable river conditions.
Many thanks W&U.

Water nearly in the fields and moving like an express train couldn’t fish unfortunately!

River up and coloured as fishing in storm Gareth!
Caught a chub of around 4lb in the slack water close in. Stayed in the same swim for the duration of the session, which was about 5 hrs long, due to most swims being unfishable with slippery banks and flooding with a few trees down and blocking other swims. Chub caught on a flavour soaked boilie. Good day had despite the awful conditions.

The river level had dropped around a foot overnight but the conditions still meant we settled for the deeper pegs once again. Gale force winds, rain and snow made for uncomfortable fishing at times but a better return today with one solitary Barbel around 5lb and two Chub.

Look forward to returning in June once we've thawed out..

Scenic beat but unfortunately we picked the wrong weekend, weather wise. River well up and coloured on arrival limiting our options to the deeper pegs at the lower end of the beat. Fished hard all day using paste wrapped pellets, boilies and luncheon meat but to no avail. One of the group had one Eel and a Roach on maggot feeder.

River came up half a mtr. All fish caught on the last peg on the bend, with curried lunchon meat. One barbel lost at the net.
