August 2013

This season has been a real mixture, starting with plenty of water but cold and windy and for the last few months lots of sunshine, hot days and rivers at summer low levels week after week.  However, for some of the time at least, salmon and sea trout could be seen moving in the late evening with sea trout often saving the day.

Stillwaters have been a better option and as autumn and cooler conditions hopefully arrive, weed growth will diminish and fishing conditions will provide good sport.  So far, the best activity has been on the saltwater with plenty of bass seen and a good few caught.  Although these are mostly school bass they still put a good bend in the rod.

It's not long now until our annual trip to Canada where we fly fish the Miramichi River for Atlantic salmon.  This season has so far been one of the best for several years so we are expecting a good amount of activity on our trip this year.  There are still a couple of spaces left so if you are interested give me a call.

It seems a long time since the last post, the cold windy weather earlier keeping things quiet.  We have been getting some good fishing on our stillwaters but the rivers have been a bit slow due to conditions.  Now things are warming up a bit and more insects are starting to emerge we are expecting the river trout fishing to begin in earnest.

Salmon and sea trout are beginning to show in more numbers although not too many have been caught so far.  Once again, the cold temperatures have kept the fish in the estuary where it is warmer.  This should change over the next few weeks as the late spring finally brings warmer conditions.

Another few weeks and we will start to explore the saltwater looking for bass and mullet.  The bass usually show in good numbers as the water warms and can be caught from the shore on the fly.

Once again, if you are still thinking of a fishing trip abroad this year have a look at my website and consider visiting New Brunswick on our annual 'Spey Week' in September.  We fly fish the Miramichi for Atlantic Salmon on the Country Haven Lodge private beats.  This is a prolific salmon river, rated as one of the best in the North Americas.  We still have a few vacancies this year so if you are interested, don't delay as places are now becoming short.
