The 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.
