September is traditionally an excellent month for Fly Fishing.  The temperatures begin to drop slightly and the fish will often feed hard in readiness for the winter.  This year we were fortunate enough to have good levels of water and this encouraged a decent run of Salmon.  Below are some of our September guests with their catch.  If you would like to get in on the action in 2005 please call 01398 331660 for details or e mail nick@hartflyfishing.demon.co.uk

Mike & Pierre on their first ever Fly Fishing outing.  Mike owns the successful Stockleigh Lodge guest house in Exford that our clients often use as accommodation during their stay.  His wife Myra was keen to give him a break from all the hard work involved in running a B&B and purchased him a Gift Voucher for his birthday.  During a relaxing day with his good friend Pierre they both managed to get a good grasp of the casting and went on to have half a dozen fish up to 5lbs.  Dressed up in waders I think you will agree that they both certainly look the part!

This Salmon caught by Eric Wooley (left) on the River Exe, was his first ever and although in the river for some time it put up a strong fight on a single handed rod.  After a quick photo the fish was carefully released.  The capture was made even sweeter for Eric and Eddie as their good mate George Ford booked their guided fly fishing trip and could not attend as he was called for jury service.  Next Time George!
