Half Moon fishing report Wednesday 29th May

After a dry six weeks, North Devon was deluged with almost two inches of rain a fortnight ago and the river came down in full spate.
This has encouraged good runs of salmon and sea trout which are now well distributed throughout the main river. Anglers at the Half Moon have enjoyed some of the best spring fishing for several years. 9 salmon have been caught in the last 10 days the largest fish of approx 14lb caught by Hutch Wright:his first salmon.Other successful anglers have included Martin Weeks,Ron Burton,Brian Lovering, Graham Henderson and Sheila Sykes.

Despite the cold, Martin Weeks and Ron Burton caught 6 sea trout in two nights fishing:all in the 2lb to 4lb range

In the last few days there have been good hatches of fly and the brown trout are feeding more readily on the surface.

With more settled and warmer weather forecast, the prospects for June are excellent

Rodney Byles has something to say about LAL Blog links?

Mr Wheatley. I have only just picked up this link to your ill informed comments about Andrew Holmes’s blog. If Andrew Holmes has not already blocked your entry to his blog and you are able to pick this up, I understand that Andrew Holmes is not responsible for controlling, moderating or amending the content of the LAL website. Perhaps if he was the website would be regularly updated, rather than lag a year behind and when you click on News etc it would be current rather than relate to seasons’ past. And of course it would not direct you or anyone else to his blog. So rather than making insulting remarks to Andrew Holmes I would recommend that you direct your ill advised and inappropriate comments to the LAL secretary or the website administrator, whoever that is, to remove the link to Andrew Holmes’s blog. I would also respectfully suggest that you seriously consider focusing your energy into casting a line, rather than casting disparaging, unhelpful and foolish remarks to fellow LAL anglers.

Nick gets a 7 lb sewin!

Nick tells me he caught a 7 lb bar of silver yesterday morning! Well done Nick - keep them coming.





And Sandy's ladder looks equally as good!

Mad drivers?

Rod alerted me to this idiot who nearly gets killed at a train crossing. Might be Llangadog?

Chis Morris gets a fat 10lb sewin - what a way to start his season?

Chis has sent me this report

Out last night on the Llandeilo stretch.Rewarded with a lovely 10lb sewin not too long after full dark..
Chrome bright, looked as though it was straight off the sea follwing the small spate on Friday
Down to the backing twice but well hooked for once....
Can only assume there must be fish higher up now too.
