Salmon prospects looking good!
With a near 3ft spate running on the Tamar at present and (hopefully!) not too much more rain to come, salmon fishing conditions could be perfect for the weekend. Good numbers of grilse have been seen on our Tamar beats this week, but the low water made them hard to catch. Young Seb Perry did well on Saturday, landing two small sea trout, also returning a grilse of 5lb on a size 10 Silver Stoat's Tail. Another couple of salmon have been hooked and lost, although plenty have been splashing about in beats 7a,b and 8a. This extra water should be just the ticket to bring more fish up and bring them on the take.
We do have some availability on our prime salmon beats this weekend, so it's best to book now (01566 784666) to avoid disappointment.
The Lyd is currently too high for night fishing for sea trout, although it should hopefully drop back within a couple of days. Several large sea trout have been seen and even connected with, with Gerald Spiers landing a three-pounder and losing a much bigger fish. September can be a very good month for night fishing, although most fish will be coloured and are best returned to the river.
Trout fishing is today limited to the smaller tributaries due to spate conditions on the main rivers, but once they drop back, the last few weeks of the season are usually superb.
