Tamar & Tributaries UpdateWith the main river in lovely condition at the moment, one or two anglers have been making a cast here and there. This week has seen a lovely sea-liced sea trout of just under 3lb caught by David Pilkington and a sea-liced spring salmon of around 8lb by Tim Smith. Both fish were caught on size 4 single sea trout flies. After perpetual cold weather, the trout are starting to provide some decent sport, with a few local anglers making the most of it. Gold head nymphs are still taking the lion's share, although good hatches of grannom and large dark olives will see the dry flies seeing some action. Tight lines No Comments

Tamar & Tributaries UpdateThe rivers finally seem to be dropping and, given a few more dry days, fishers should be back in waders. With all of this water of late, it's just as possible that the first salmon come from the middle reaches at Lifton and Launceston as on the lower river.Trout fishers will hopefully finally get their teeth into some serious fishing, with a little milder weather required to get some hatches going.

Tamar & Tributaries UpdateThe main river and tributaries are all currently unfishable at the moment. Trout fishing has therefore been curtailed by excess water. With milder temperatures and (finally) the onset of spring, once the rivers drop we should see some great catches of brownies. On the salmon front, we have heard of a fish or two (as well as some very early peal) seen on the lower river and one hooked and lost on fly. If you have anything to report, please don't hesitate to add a comment in to this blog page. Tight lines No Comments

Tamar & Tributaries UpdateThe trout season is now underway and the milder weather seems to have started to help. Some very good catches have been reported by the few anglers who have ventured out, mainly to deeply-fished nymphs on the tributaries. It's a little quiet on the salmon front, although at least one angler on the lower river reported seeing a salmon move and also an early peal. Let's hope the milder weather helps the river temperture climb! Tight lines No Comments

Tamar & Tributaries UpdateThe salmon season started yesterday, March 1st. Rather unsurprisingly, no fish have as yet been reported. We'd expect the first of the season to come in the latter part of the month from the lower river. In the meantime, prospects for grayling fishing are very good, with both the main river and tributaries running at a nicely fishable height. If you have any reports of fish, please feel free to add a 'comment' on this blog page. Good luck to one and all for 2010 View Comments (1)
