The month of September has seen progressively greater amounts of rain falling on Devon's green and pleasant land. Salmon have been taking advantage of this to run our rivers, with eight fish landed this month and another four lost by our rods. The ground is now well soaked and water levels are remaining consistently high,being topped up by more heavy showers as I write. The scene is set for a good run of fish for the final three weeks of the season.
Trout fishing has been tough at times in the high water, and night fishing for sea trout has effectively been put to bed for the last few days of this season. All eyes are on the weirs as fish head for the spawning grounds, and with all our salmon (total to date 16) now being released we look forward to an exciting back-end to the salmon fishing, which closes on October 14th.
