THE GALLERY - MARCH 2005

SITE MAP

The season is here by March, and although the small stillwaters produce fish year round it is now time for the Rivers to once again open up their doors. John Yerbury made his opening day a superb day to remember with his first ever Grayling from the Westcountry weighing in at well over 1 1/2 lbs, caught on a very cold day. A credit to his casting and fishing this was the only rising fish we witnessed all day long, but it found Johns Klinkhammer dry too good to resist. The weather was up and down during March but Tom Kenyon, his brother Will and Wills girlfriend, Emma, hit it just right and enjoyed one of our popular 2 day courses. Pete and I spent 17 days out with various guests and we can't fit you all into the gallery unfortunately but here are a few of the top March catches. Email Nick here.

Converted Coarse Angler - Kevan Day

7th & 8th March 2005

Kevan Day (and yes, that is Kevan spelt with an "a"!) has been Coarse Fishing for a number of years but like many other people who have tried fishing with baits, over the years he has become more and more drawn to trying his hand at Fly Fishing. Booking up a 2 day course Kevan arrived during some fairly cold weather. However we wrapped up warm and got out on the Lake, after all, if your fly isn't in the water .... Over the 2 days we managed several fish and Kevan is certainly now a convert to Fly Fishing, here he is with one of his best fish of the course taken at ever reliable Exe Valley Fishery.

Fly Fishing as a group is great fun and makes an excellent weekend break

12 & 13th March 05

Tom Kenyon was a previous guest in 2004 (Bass Fishing on the North Devon Coast) and this time visited with his Brother and Brothers girlfriend for 2 days of March Fishing.

15th March 2004 - Trout open season on West Country Rivers

John Yerbury has appeared on this web site several times over the years. He first visited for 2 days of River Fishing. Then he arrived back with 3 mates, Clive, Ashley and Matt. We spent a very cold day in the rain getting them ready for a trip to Spain. That proved well worth it as they all had a great time and caught plenty of fish. The following year we all headed out to Ireland and despite tough conditions we caught some notable fish, including a 5lb Mullet to Clive. In between times I have taken Ashley to Blagdon on a couple of occassions while helping Clive with his casting although he tends to arrive for his guided fishing days in the rain! John turned up on opening day and banked this spanking Grayling on a dry. Later on in the year he returns in hope of a Salmon or a Sea Trout.
