RainWe could do with a drop, there have however been reports of seatrout in the lower and middle river. Chris Brown managed to winkle one of 2.5lb out from the Kings Nympton water. Salmon activity has been slow, they seem to going up the Torridge - interesting. The cold evenings doesn't encourage too much night fishing, so the other evening I went after a few perch, great sport, fish of just over the pound mark. Twenty minutes in the top oven, lemon, olive oil and black pepper, serve with new potatoes and salad, up there with seatrout. We should now start to have some night time sport with seatrout, lets hope for some warm evenings. Top tip. Never wrap fish to tightly. Richard. View Comments (1)

Dry spellWith no rain for 3 weeks we could do with a drop! Although its not yet showing its bones, but with the trees about to burst into leaf river levels will drop quickly. Fishing effort has been low, the early burst of activity has slowed, but there is rain forecast, this should bring a few fish in. There have been a few seatrout caught, with the warmer nights and big tides the larger fish will start to arrive. I fished the other night, the temperature was good and water levels ideal for good seatrouting, the fly fished well but no fish. Brown trout were showing in good numbers, being tempted by a lovely hatch of olives, always a good sign early in the season. Top tip, don't go home too early. Richard No Comments

SPRINGERSSome nice fish have been grassed from the lower and middle Taw ranging between 6 - 13lb. Fish have been seen showing througout the river, a good sign. Its at this time you can connect with some large seatrout 6 - 10lb+ superb fighting fish with the odds stacked heavily in favour of the seatrout and that's during the day; night time is another story! Brown trout are also in season now and offer the angler a testing alternative during low water conditions, March Brown and various hackled and spider patterns will take nice fish. If anyone does catch some nice brownies please let us know, these little reported fish do however live in the river all year, so lets give them some credit. They are an important berometer and there are some nice fish present, lets hope this an upward trend. Cheers. No Comments
