river torridge: tues 30th MarchPatience is a virtue folks. The unsettled spell of weather continues and as you can see from the webcam the river is still too high and coloured for fishing. Every day small amounts of rain keep the river topped up. It will only need a couple of dry days and the river will come into perfect order. Charles. View Comments (2)

torridge uppdate: Friday 19th MarchThe met office has been spot on again and the warm south west winds have duly arrrived bringing bands of rain off the Atlantic. About 13mm rain has fallen on the catchment in the last 24 hours and more is forecast. The river has risen slightly today and for those of you using the Sheepwash height board it is reading 1 foot 3 inches this evening. More fish to report this week: I have heard of two salmon taken on middle river beats and two from the lower river including a sea liced fish of approx 12lbs. A spate now will encourage more to enter fresh water from the estuary so you early season anglers can look forward to some good fishing: and the sea trout season has now opened and I will look forward to being able to report the first rod caught sea trout. One behind every stone folks!! No Comments

torridge update: sat 13th MarchPleased to say I can report a salmon caught at Brightlea yesterday by John Graham: approx 7lb caught using an intermediary line on a size 6 Silver Stoat. At long last the nagging easterly wind has gone and spring seems to be in the air. No rain at ball since 28th February but the river is holding up well. For those of you that use the height board at Sheepwash: 1 foot 1inch this morning with water temp 40 rising to 43 later in the day. The AGM of our Fishery Association was well attended and enjoyed by one and all. All the eggs at the hatchery have now hatched and the young alevin are progressing well with only minimal losses.. I will keep you informed of any further catches. Charles. View Comments (1)

torridge fishing reportThe South West missed the violent storm and heavy rain that hit eastern England over the weekend. The river was rather high and slightly coloured on opening day, but is now coming into perfect order, albeit rather cold with a brisk easterly wind. Four superb spring salmon have been caught on the Lower Taw: fish which will have come in on the recent big spring tides. Fish were showing below Beam Weir last Saturday. The next few days really should produce some early Torridge salmon. All we need are some keen anglers!! Charles. The river height will be spot on for at least a week. Water temp: 6C.
