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
