Great day fishing, good weather, lovely beat...

1 Barbel, 18 Chub

Tough going at Ty Newydd. Cold wind blowing down the valley, but water height good.
Very little fly life and nothing, and I mean nothing, moving on the surface. Reluctantly resorted to nymphing and was rewarded with 3 wbt to 12" and a pristine grayling of around 14". What a beautiful species the grayling is, was besotted with it for a few minutes whilst submersed in the net before it glided off, dignity in tact.

3 Trout, 1 Grayling

All trout, sized from 7" to 16" were fished on dry flies such as Adams,Pale morning dan and Klinkhammer sized from #13 to #16. All fish were safely returned to the water.
Beautiful river. Many thanks to WUF.

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.

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????.
