Seemed a perfect evening, very warm and cloudy. Me, my brother and a friend fished last night different beats then met up, all a bit quiet really just a few peel showing occassionally and one decent fish probably very stale. Even the trout were not co operating.
Salmon
28 August 2008
Good conditions Wed evening river back down and reasonably clear. Mr Knapman had a first sea trout and a friend caught one too, school peel under a lb. Try as I might just could not touch a thing although one was caught on my rod! My purple patch with the salmon is holding out though, fished lower Exe for a few hours yesterday afternoon and returned an 8lb fish on fly a bit stale but very welcome!
showers
17 August 2008
Had a few minutes on the axe yesterday it strong win and showers just deperate to wet a line. It was very high but clear enough for a fly at 2pm and had trout attacking my peter ross and a small waddington. Just as I got into it by 2.30pm the serious rain/ showers brought lots more colour in and up it came again! Sod this I'm off to SW Scotland.
