Salmon Bonanza

Although the river looked unfishable, clearing waters just tempted us to cast a fly on the Tamar today... The result? Three fly-caught salmon for under an hour's combined fishing effort, in one pool.


James Palmer hooks a lively fish that initially tries to run to Plymouth!




After a 10-minute, surging battle, David slips the net...



How about that for a 10lb+ beauty, just before release.



Tim managed to get in on the act too with this shining little grilse - proper job!



Who'd have thought we'd be fishing brass tube flies on sinking lines in mid-August?!



Another 10-pounder, this time for Mr Pilkington...




This could be a great back-end season! Why not take advantage of our Last-Minute Salmon Breaks?
