Hearing of a couple of salmon coming off of the river since opening day and some early sea trout too.

Good news Pete. Let's hope the first of many.

Fingers are tightly crossed Rob. Think the river had some good numbers last year given conditions last season. I went to the River Taw Fisheries AGM last Fri and think they mentioned it was 111 salmon.

The Taw is underway for 2017. Two so far!

Good to hear,
Surprised more haven't been caught given the decent water.

Hi all,
(Nearly) recovered form bad knee problems which have kept me out o fthe water since mid May!
Looked at the Exe yesterday and it more like the river Dribble!
Is it worth the hour's drive over to the CCFc Taw waters over the weekend (or the Yeo ?creedy)
I wonder whether, with th every warm, very low, deoxygenated water it is even fair to the fish??
Or should I head for Dartmoor?
Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul I've not fished the Taw since the end of June and it was low then, the Yeo here in Yeoford is the lowest I have ever seen it in the18 years we've been in the village.Perhaps the moor might be the best bet. The smaller Yeo in Yeoford is barely flowing  |

Hi all,
Exe at an all time low, both down at Upexe and here in Tiverton. Only success I have heard of is a salmomn caught in ultra low water on a spinner!!!
Like Pete,I'm unwilling to fish and risk their survival in the (very unlikely) event I connected with something.
A week or so ago ther was some cricket that sustained the interest. NOt his week!
I gather the football season has started. Never been my scene, but tehse days the top flight seems to be entirely foreign import performers; media overkill is spouling this (and other ( sports.
ESF has temporarily stopped and even my regular dose of interesting posts on this website seems, like the rivers, to have dried up since Boisker- very sadly- went off in a huff (almost as if people are a bit fearful of posting). Halfstoned's persistence and Mojo\s sea fihing excepted!!
I am a neophyte, but I can't remember a season when so much of the time it has not been worth going out for the fishing (perhaps for a few hours of solitude and contemplation?.
Only five and a bit weeks left!!!!
Cheers, Paul

Tried a bit of "solitude and contemplation " on the Yeo this evening, my first look at the section above Salmonhutch, strange that I've not visited before as it is the closest beat to Yeoford. Does anybody fish this much? It seems like a strange piece of water, alternating between long shallow canal like stretches and deep pools with nothing in between. Access rather limited with a brand new barbed wire fence which took a liking to my waders!! Must be hard work when the level is normal. I had some cracking Kingfisher views though with a proper emergency brake and bank hard right as he/she realised what I was. Some bits could do with a trim this winter.  |
