The rivers remain very low indeed, so salmon fishing is a bit of a non-starter at present. Heavy rain forecast for Thursday this week will hopefully change things so watch this space.
We landed 28 sea trout last week, all at night. The season total (on Arundell beats) stands at 198. Small pods of fresh school fish were encountered throughout the Lyd, with Peter Radford landing the best of the week - a three-pounder - on beat 3 using a slow sink line and a 2.5 inch Stinger fly. During recent cold nights, big flies fished very slowly seem to have done the trick.
Trout fishing is tough as per usual in August, but they are still there to be caught. Few fish are being seen rising, so wets and nymphs are taking most of them. The biggest brown last week was caught at night while sea trout fishing by Roger Selby, a beauty of 14 inches.
Newcomers to fly fishing, Fiona and Mark Napier experienced Tinhay Lake at its best on Saturday. With a strong breeze ruffling the water, the big rainbows came on the feed and they landed grown-on fish of 4lb, 3lb 10oz, 4lb, 6lb and two of 1 1/2lb! All fish were caught on dry Klinkhamers.
