For anyone interested in an early fish and a sight of bits of the Ee that are normally not available, I copy some bits out of the RETA newsletter. I've got two days booked next week!
"But this year there is another reason to get your rod out, and early as
well, go now in fact - FREE FISHING!! The recent floods have assisted maybe 250,000 rainbows (estimates vary wildly of course) to escape the confines of their pits in the fish farms on our river, to flee to the river, and there do untold damage to the native fish, the fry, parr, wee brownies and, coming soon, smolts.
It is imperative that we get as many people out fishing for the fat silver suppers as soon as possible to help rid the river of this menace. We hope and pray this disaster will not undo any of the good work the River Exe Project has been carrying out for the past seven years but only time willtell. In the meantime we should all get down to the river and partake in the fishing bonanza. And as illustration of this I can tell you Derek Newbold had 10 x 3lbers in 40 mins fishing at Oakfordbridge recently. There reallyare 1000's of them in the river. Think about it.
All you need is a trout licence and to get in touch with
Patrick or James at Lance Nicholson's Tackle 01398 323409
lancenich@lancenich.f9.co.uk to arrange a day. Note barbless hooks aremandatory in case you encounter a kelt or brownie. Remember to notify your catch return after each visit to Nick.Maye@environment-agency.gov.uk."
