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
