Sport with wild brown trout has leapt into top gear with a spell of warmer weather and excellent water levels. The first few mayflies are now emerging, along with swarms of black gnat, plus lots of olives and a few sedges. 143 trout were released last week, along with 11 grayling, and we only had a few rods out each day.
The salmon keep coming, our fourth fish of the season was released at Lyd Foot by Dominic Jevons, a cracking fresh ten-pounder which took a Stoat's tail tube fly. Three other fish have been lost. Sea trout are pushing up the Tamar, some nice ones taken down at Endsleigh, and all heading up the river to the Arundell Arms.
