Fished with Mr Rudsdale last week and caught some trout. The sea trout were more difficult though hooked and lost one. A good sized fished lept out a few times to keep us interested until 3 am! Caught some smaller sea trout lately, best 2.5lb bright silver and covered with spots! Bit of rain today so hope it shakes things up a bit.

Mr Ovenell and friend fished the Axe last week after a full days trouting on the Frome! A decent fish showed at dusk as we started in the first pool. They were experienced trout fishers but had fun trying to get a line out in the darkness downstream particularly after a day casting for trout upstream with light rods and lines! However Mr Ovenell had one pull and later tried a surface lure but sadly had no response. They left at 11.30pm so I stayed on a little to try a few spots and found a mint 2lb sea trout. Also met up with Jon and Pete who I understand caught a beauty of about 5lb or so. Bit of rain lately but now cleared and decent tides just gone through. Hope some people enjoying some good fishing, I've a few days off so off chasing a salmon somewhere! Tightlines.
