Fish are being caughtThe release of water from Wimbleball helped Tim Julier score on Old Womans Pool yesterday evening (26/09/09). Tim had very little hope but was very pleased to land a 4lb Grilse on a tiny Stoats Tail in Stravers Pot and then an 8lb in the same pool, an hour later on a Stoats Tail Conehead. The Grilse was surprisingly fresh, but the Salmon was described as pretty red, both went back. Tim reports another three showing in Old Womans Pool, but as he was packing up! So it seems that it may well be worth having a dabble this weekend. No Comments

Wimbleball Releasing WaterMany thanks to Andrew Maund who I spoke to briefly last night. He has informed me that Wimbleball have been releasing water and this has had an effect on the river. Check the water gauge for last 24 hours and you will note a definite rise through the day. This will spur fish to run. Let us know if you have any luck.No Comments

Some Goood News!At last a salmon! After losing 3 in the last week Shaun has banked a nice silver 4lb 12oz Grilse that made it to the net yesterday at Bolham weir on the upper beat. Hooking the other 3 is a top effort proving there are fish around to be caught, but only if your fly is in the water! Have a good weekend. No Comments

Making the best of itThe river really is down now, check out the exposed pebbles on the webcam. The sun and cool breeze don't help matters of course and based on the reports from the other blogs there seems to be a general lack of migratory fish. But there is still sport to be had and for something a little bigger than the average wild Browns ... why not go for Grayling? These once persecuted fish are now abundant in the Exe and provide superb sport to both dry and nymph. Here are some we caught earlier http://twitpic.com/photos/hartflyfishing But, if these are not your thing I would suggest a rain dance! We could have done with the deluge experienced in London yesterday.No Comments

Weekend CatchDespite the lowering water it was pleasing to hear of Josh Thornes Grilse which he coaxed out of Olds Womans pool on Saturday. The hen fish was described as "fresh as a daisy" and safely released. Just a couple of weeks of the Trout season left to enjoy although the Grayling will provide some further sport through the winter months such as this fine specimen caught using an X Factor Nymph, also on Saturday, see http://hartflyfishing.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-big-grayling.htmlNo Comments
