Latest News from the Devon School of Fly Fishing

Another salmon has been caught on the Fox and Hounds water and the sea trout are starting to arrive. It’s getting exciting!

Sea trout are starting to be caught on the Taw and so if you’d like a guided sea trout session be sure to get in touch. We offer guiding on a hourly basis and fit it around how long you’d like to fish for.

Are you ready? The mayfly are just starting to appear in small numbers but the hatch is only going to start building and it won’t be long until the fish get “locked on” to them.

We’ve had some much needed rain to freshen the water up and to hopefully send some salmon our way. The dry fly fishing has been outstanding of late with fish rising to olives. Be sure to scan the water and look for the rise!

A few more salmon have come off of the river mainly on the middle sections. No real signs of sea trout although a few have been caught at the very bottom of the river.

We’ve started catching a few more fish on dry flies which has been great news!

The grannom hatch has pretty much finished. Still some large brook duns and March Browns. Fish preferring the bigger dries right now.

We are starting to see signs of the fish rising now. We had guests out yesterday who caught fish rising to large brook duns. Great news!

We still have some good water for salmon so if you fancy swinging some flies let us know!

Well, Pete has caught the first salmon of the season at the Fox and Hounds so we are off the mark!
