Sorry for the total lack of reports so far. I'm only half a season late
In brief. Sea trout on the Tamar system has been, so far, a non-event. We should be up to 50-100 fish by now. We have caught 10. Water too high for all of the summer so far, not many fish seen either.
On the other hand, we would usually be up to approx 5 salmon by now. Mr Tandem from this very forum lost his second and our 23rd at the net yesterday AM. He is probably still drying out.
So, a very good early salmon season this year. Out of 22 fish only two grilse, the rest 8-15lb, deep-bodied shiners. 19 fish released. Rumours of a 20lber landed at Endsleigh in the last few days and at least a couple of fish around 18lb caught on the river. Splendid!
Rivers unfishable yet again today... but we will see what wonderful dry, sunny weather the weekend brings
Sorry for being slack!
