Got my gear out today and got that buzz of excitement Just finished tying up a few more flies, I was out last Monday and it was hard work, ending up with 1 fish on a gold head Daddy. I need a new 'Inter' line, my current line has a better memory than me ! Shame really, it has been one hell of a line and has caught a lot of fish, it was one of the last Scientific Anglers 'Kelly Greens' (no longer available). I am thinking of a Snowbee XS clear intermediate to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Trout season finished but looking forward to the Grayling starting in November. Had a good season, some cracking trout, & one of the best Mayfly hatches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sea Trout season has been a really bad one for me, I've caught 1 all year! Going to Llys y Fran down in Pembrokeshire (all being well) on Monday for hopefully a few rainbows. Tight Lines Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Well, a work party to get the boats off the water and stored up for Winter, yesterday. Fishing is bank only now until December. I was in need of a new 'Inter' line after the probable 'death' of my SA Kelly green intermediate. I found one on the Bay on a great Snowbee Prestige LA reel at £25. I have several of these reels and they are now obsolete, so any for 'spares' are a welcome addition, especially with a line on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_jay Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Had a nice few hours on Blakewell today, two nice rainbows of 3lbs a piece. Will definitely return next year on the annual holiday to Saunton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely return next year on the annual holiday to Saunton Think I might just nip up. If you fancy an alternative as well, try Exe Valley Fishery at Exbridge. Another nice spot but possibly a tad busier perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
