Newcomers On The Lyd

This weekend's Beginners' Quickie Course was a washout on the first day... The brave participants persevered in the rain on the lake and the drying room was put to very good use by the end of the morning! The trout proved tricky to catch, with just one rainbow landed by 11 year-old Luke Hillier. The next day was a different story and blue skies graced the Lyd valley and a few wild brown trout made an appearance.



Tim's group took on beat one on the Lyd - a riverside packed lunch was, of course, essential!

Financial Times Magazine

Many thanks must go to Bob Sherwood, contributor to the Financial Times Weekend magazine, for a fantastic article on fishing at the hotel and Anne Voss-Bark. The full story was printed in last weekend's magazine, but a condensed version can be found here: Financial Times - Arundell Arms Story.
Although the weather was less than pleasant on the day, Bob (an AAPGAI instructor himself), Gary Champion and Anne Voss-Bark all caught fish on the Lyd, and the photographer did a superb job!

First On The Chart...

Tim Smith pinched an hour while David was teaching today and headed for beat 7a. After a fruitless run through Quarry Pool in the sweltering heat, the very first cast in the neck of Lydfoot brought a violent take... the first sea trout of the season was on! Tim eventually landed the fish and carefully removed the size 8 Stoat's Tail from its jaws before returning it to the Tamar. The fish was measured at between 22 and 23in, estimated at four pounds... a nice one to start the season with. Summer is here!
