The Mysterious Case of the Missing Spate

[BarleBlanker]

After the rain yesterday and overnight I was expecting everywhere to be a washout today. Looking at the various webcams it appears that Exmoor has missed it all, the Exe and Barle are hardly up at all. I see the Teign and Tavy are up but the Taw cam is offline.

Has the upper Taw caught it and is it a chocolate mess today, will it be worth a look tomorrow (my first outing with the trout rod this season) or should I head for Exmoor?


Cheers

Hi Andy,

The Taw was coming up and colouring when we left this afternoon. The Lapford Yeo often dumps a lot of colour into the Taw when it rains where I am but was running clear so looks like the colour is coming from higher up.

Well not exactly action packed but I did get a few tiddlers on the dry fly last Sunday. A great day to be out





My first of the year, it will probably be my biggest




The met office is forcasting wall to wall rain this weekend but XCWeather says dry for Fri/Sat With a bit of luck we will miss it again
