Cage feeder was the main tactic and baits included pellet, boilies, bread etc.
The river was well up which didn't help.
A nice section though. Would definitely consider when conditions are more favorable.

Only fished for 2hrs - nil catch.

Couldn't get any pike interested in lures but picked up two jacks on dead-bait. Followed up late in the day with two nice chub over 5lbs.

2 Chub, 2 Pike

The river was high and fast, one small Barbel between three anglers.

Excellent conditions and weather, trotting maggots and fly fishing. Both methods successful, best fish was a grayling of 2lb 6ozs. Contact numbers very helpful, gave us great advice, phoned a river report on the morning of our visit and met us at the parking spot. Perfect! Thank you, will visit again.

Both Anglers used Halibut pellet on a hair rig. River very high, chocolate in colour but dropping around 1' over the two days. Friday 28th, 1 Barbel caught around 5:30pm about 4 pounds in weight. Chub of about 5lb caught 10 minutes later.
Both fish extremely healthy with no marks or signs of being caught before. 1 Barbel caught around 10:30am on Saturday 1st March, fish weighed around 6lb, caught on the same method. Weather wise Friday a.m was rainy but cleared later.
Saturday 1st March began with a hard frost but then produced the most stunning Sunny and at times warm day. We were given some great advice from Adam Fisher who joined us for over an hour on Saturday morning. He was recommended to us by the Wye & Usk Foundation so thank you. Thanks also to local Tim Gaunt for pulling us off the parking mound at How Caple as our van had got stuck and we had been struggling to get it off for an hour or more when he stopped to help. We stayed once again with Carol at The Old Mill in Hoarwithy, for us
there is quite simply nowhere better.
