River Report - 28/3/12

The trout season is off to a good start, although the current tropical weather is dropping water levels at a rate of knots. This doesn't yet seem to be worrying the trout as most rods out fishing have been managing catches of well into double figures. Here's a report from regular rod Ben Garnett...
"I went out to Beat 2, had a lovely start to the season - sun shining, wood anemones out everywhere, birds singing, frogs croaking and the otter had made a sandcastle to poo on :) Caught 23 fish including 3 grayling (one beautiful male of 1lb 8oz in his spawning colours - slipped him back carefully!), and at least 5 pretty big salmon parr (these were scattered widely up and down the beat. Although seem to be quite a few in the first pool by the bridge?). Managed one trout to a Para Adams, the rest came to the nymph. There were grannom and LDOs around, also a fair number of daddy long-legs."

We still have availability for some of the season's best wild trout fishing over the next couple of months, so pleaqse don't hesitate to call us on 01566 784666 if you fancy wetting a line!
