Salmon success at The Arundell Arms

Thanks to regular spates, we are currently enjoying a good end to the salmon season at The Arundell Arms. Guests have landed around 20 salmon in the last fortnight, with some very bright, fresh grilse among them. We are hopeful for more rain in the next few weeks to keep the fish running and the catches coming up to the close of the season on October 14th. We still have availability for the final fortnight of the season, so please get in touch via 01566 784666 or email reservations@arundellarms.co.uk to book your stay. A few pictures from recent days on the Lyd...

Salmon at last!

A brief update, but just to let you know that good numbers of salmon have arrived at the Arundell Arms beats on the Tamar and Lyd. 14 fish have been landed in the last eight days, with several bright silver grilse among them. Regular guest James Graham had a great time on beat 3 on the Lyd, landing three fish while spinning on high water. Ronald Brown landed two - a 10-pounder and one of 7 1/2lb - (both on fly) on the lower Lyd, using a Cascade Tube. We could do with a top-up of water now, although the forecast looks promising. There is still a reasonable amount of availability on the salmon beats, so it's well worth grabbing a day or two. For up-to-the-minute reports, please call David or Tim on 01566 784666 between 9am and 10am or 6.30pm and 7pm.
