SmoltsJust heard of an angler fishing below Dulverton on the Barle who was unable to catch trout due to the large number of smolts taking his fly. While it was annoying to his fishing its nice to hear of so many going downstream. Keep an eye on them and see if we can follow there progress to the estury.Good luck Patrick View Comments (9)

SpringSpring is really here now with the rivers VERY clear and getting low. Brown trout are just making a move with a few nice fish from the Dulverton Angling Association waters, mainly taking gold head nymphs but some dark Olives have been seen so keep your eyes open and try different options.No doubt you will have seen on the exebridge blog that a few Salmon have been taken, this will become more difficult as the water drops. Some may have also heard and seen work being done on the old salmon trap on the Barle at Beasley Mill. There has been an application for a Hydro-electric scheme which needs to be monitored. RETA has put in a considered objection concerning water flows and fish passes etc and I have every faith in Roger Furniss who is again leading this. The devil is in the detail. Patrick No Comments

FREE DRINK!Happy New Season to you all.... A thirsty angler suggested there could be a prize for the first spring fish so.... Lance Nicholson are putting up a very special prize indeed.... A BOTTLE OF WHISKY to the angler who catches (with proof) the first River Exe spring salmon either on Dulverton Angling Association or Fish The Exe water above Tiverton. So check those lines and flies etc, and get your waders wet! All the best. James and Pat No Comments

ExtensionSorry for the lack of postings over the last 2 weeks. James has been on holiday so we have been too busy with the start of the shooting season and processing all the salmon extension applications. Some of the early permissions we issued state that only a single barbless fly can be used. This has since changed to any size single, or doubles size 12 or smaller. All barbless/debarbed of course.There were 2 salmon hooked at Cove on Monday, the biggest about 36" long, (about 15lbs?) and he saw several fish swim up river past him. Its raining to freshen the river so make the most of it. Good luck Patrick No Comments

CoveSeveral fish seen at Cove yesterday, up to double figures, but they have become potted and wouldn't take anything. I think we need a fresh dollop of rain to get the fishing going again.Fingers crossed Patrick No Comments
