Tamar system updateThe heavy rain forecast for yesterday failed to materialise. The sky cleared and the air was noticeably mild and, with the pussy-willow breaking, we thought it could have been a spring day. Grayling to 36cm were caught on the Arundell beats on the Lyd on heavy nymphs fished deep. Lower river levels and milder conditions should see some keen fly fishers out on the Tamar to make the most of the final weeks of the grayling season. The salmon season kicks off on March 1st, with perhaps the very odd springer or two expected on the lower river towards the end of the month. No Comments

Tamar system updateRivers currently low and clear enough for grayling fishing. Some rain forecast for the coming week, which could rapidly colour the water and preclude fishing. Spring still seems a long way away, with winter birds such as egrets on the river, and a drake pochard on Tinhay lake. Midges were dancing in the sun yesterday, and Grannom will hatch by the end of this month. Snowdrops are in full bloom, and the wild garlic and daffodils are just poking through. No Comments

Tamar UpdateWith the current persistent rain, high water has meant that grayling fishing is currently not an option. Once the river drops back, keen folks will wrap up warm and head out. Tungsten headed bugs and nymphs fished under indicators will most likely be the best method, although - on a mild day - it's worth carrying a dry fly or two.In the meantime, the evenings are drawing out... at last!
