The trout season opens on the 15th March and we can look forward to some excellent river fishing in the coming months.
Early in the season, trout will feed mainly in the middle of the day and large dark olives should be present in good numbers, along with medium olives and stoneflies.
There was a tiny mention in the Angling Times recently, but just in case you missed it, please visit and support Fishing for Heroes.
A trawl through our photo archives threw up a handful of pictures of some of our colleagues demonstrating their angling skill outside their normal comfort zone.
One of the pleasant side effects of this website is that we attract customers from all over the world. One such is Peter Carruthers, who lives in South Australia.
Peter bought some tackle from us and we were chuffed when he emailed recently with news of his successful angling exploits with the new gear. This is what he said -
Before the all in team captains decided the series was to be cut short as competing teams had other commitments and wanted to avoid any clashes. For everyone involved this seemed to be the correct decision and full credit is due to the organising committee for doing this (well in Ken).
Both teams A and B had mixed draws on the day but it was team A (for once) that did better on the day coming second overall by one point behind another emphatic Daiwa Ultima performance. This saw Daiwa Ultima scoop the league overall with the Maver squad in second then Ted Carter Southport B in third and Ted Carter A into fourth followed by Team Last Cast in fifth.
