Tights lines to everybody.

Opening month of the Season

There has been good start to the season with Joey Polson who caught a Salmon at the Honeypot on the opening day as well as Gary Beresford and Martin Moran. A fourth Salmon 12lB was caught by Kevin Minnock on the 10th June on the Gangway with a home tied Gold Willie Gunn and also christening his new rod.

Since then it has been slow with only the odd fish being seen or touched until David Taylor caught a 12LB Salmon on the Gangway. We are now awaiting the arrival of the Grilse and Sea Trout as the rivers have had some caught already with the odd rise in water levels.

Tight lines everybody, but to catch that fish you need a Fly in the water.
