Gaz Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 tbh i was in caps for 2 years and jacked it with 7 other mates because of the agro and attitude from other members. joined it twice first time 9 years ago and left for the same reason rejoined couple years ago thinking it would have changed and boy was i wrong. great waters if you can handle the grief that comes with a club with over 2500 members. rubbish bullying and fights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you give it another chance again one day. As for the Stour their are definatly some lovely strecthes with some stunning fish but on a hot summers evening it's hard to top a walk down the stour @ Nayland and finish the evening off in the Pub sitting by the river !!
