Salmon are few and far between these days.

Congratulations to Dan Osmond for this one.

We have recently stocked 200 brown trout around 12 inches in size. These are triploid fish. They have not been tagged nor had fins clipped. They will spread out over the next few weeks.

Three sites were chosen:

• Near to Austins Bridge

• Below Abbotsmead

• Below Town Mills at Staverton. This water is little fished so do go and give it a go. Aim for the stretch between Still Pool and Hangman’s Pool.

We do now have a secretary..

His name is Harrison Campbell. He is a Salmon member and lives in Newton Abbot.

You can contact him on 07795 830459 or email campbellharrison9@gmail.com

It will take him a while to learn the ropes so do go easy. 

He has also taken on the role of Safeguarding Lead. 

Despite freezing temperatures, some good fish were caught in the first week of the Brown / Sea trout season. Fish of up to 3.5lb were reported. An encouraging start.
