APRIL 2011

Well, what can you say.  April has been mostly tropical with river levels dropping throughout the month. As expected, these conditions have not produced much in the way of sport although some fish were caught before the levels dropped too far.  There are fish showing occasionally but proving difficult to catch in the low water.

Still waters have been challenging at times but rewarding when there were some clouds to shield the sun, but mostly in the evenings when the sun had dropped below the trees.

Hopefully the warm weather will result in our trips to the beach and estuary in search of bass starting a bit earlier this year.  The hot weather seems to be abating now and with a bit of luck we will get enough rain to lift the rivers before long.  Then we should start to see fish coming in and catches of salmon and sea trout being reported.

Keep an eye on the weather reports and get down to enjoy the fabulous scenery and fishing that Devon offers.

March 2011 Fishing

March has now come and gone.  We started with plenty of water and finished with not a lot.  However around a dozen springers have been caught and I was lucky enough to catch a 12 to 14 pound fish from the lower Taw. Around 40 well mended kelts have also been caught indicating a good spawning season last winter and maybe the return of these as bigger fish next season.  Quite a few good sized sea trout have also been seen and one or two caught.  The weather forecast promises some rain this weekend (April 2nd/3rd) which should give the river a bit of a lift.   With spring tides this weekend as well there should be a good number of fish entering the river during the coming week.  Get here if you can!!

Start of a new season

Well, a new season has begun and we are optimistic that our fly fishing activities in Devon, Somerset and Eastern Canada this year will be great.  Keep in touch with us here to find out the latest on our fishing and state of the rivers, stillwaters and salt waters we fish.  You will also be able to see what forthcoming activities are available.

Keep in touch,
