NEW - Arundell Arms PR Sinking Lines

Following the huge popularity of our 'Peal Remover' Sink-Tip sea trout lines, we are pleased to add two full-sinking lines to the range. These lines cast at close and long-range with ease and will get those flies down where they count. Currently only available in AFTM 7.5wt (13g), this size is the perfect match for 7wt rods - arguably the most common line rating for sea trout anglers, certainly in the Westcountry.
The lines are available in two densities, SINK-1 (with a sink rate of 0.5 - 1 inch per second) and SINK-2 (with a sink rate of 1.5 - 2 inches per second). The SINK-1 line is a dark-olive colour, and the SINK-2 a chestnut brown colour.
Featuring a similar taper to the PR Sink-Tip lines, the PR Sinking lines will handle big wet flies as well as stingers, tubes, snakes and other large offerings to be cast to sea trout.

The normal price is £32.99 per line, but you can get a discount of 10% by entering the following code on the online shop: CAT244
(offer valid until 31st Aug 2011)

These are so new that we've just finished boxing them up... photos to come soon.

Rivers Update

Not too much change unfortunately; the rivers remain very low indeed despite some recent heavy showers in the area. Trout fishing is currently tough (as per usual in August), although fishing very delicately and carefully will produce some fish. James Palmer and sons Harry and Jack did very well during their stay, landing 59 trout between them, on small nymphs and wet flies.
Sea trout fishing remains patchy, with a handful of fish reported over the last week. Small flies and surface lures have brought the best results.
With a crisp autumnal feel in the air, thoughts are turning to salmon fishing... as soon as we have some rain! There have been reports of good numbers of fish - albeit unwilling to take - from further down the Tamar. David Pilkington managed a ten-pounder from Lydfoot while sea trout fishing during the day, but there is little else to report. Watch this space...

Current season totals:

Wild brown trout: 1984


Sea trout: 77


Salmon: 2

The Season So Far...

While conditions are tricky at the moment with blazing sunshine and, yet again, a lack of water - here's an update of the season so far...

Wild brown trout: 1799. After a tremendous May (941), June was a little trickier with 346 fish recorded. July recorded 184, with some cracking fish including a trout of 13.5in for Clive Hames. Nymphs are producing most of the trout, although the fish are still rising!

Sea Trout: 53. The numbers of fish have been down this season, perhaps due to sustained low water. There are however small pockets of bright, fresh fish on our Lyd beats at present and reports of many more fish on the lower Tamar fisheries.

Salmon: 1. Due to sustained low water, nobody has been salmon fishing! We really need a good spate before the salmon rods are dusted off...
