Fluff Chuckers at the ARUNDELL
Many thanks to Rodney Wevill for organising this excellent event on the Arundell Waters and thanks for the write up below ;- What a fantastic day we have had at the Fluff Chuckers – Fly Fishing Fanatics / Arundell Rivers Event Rivers Event. We fished in pairs on different beats on the river Lyd. One from each pair fishing in the morning and the other doing the afternoon session. It was going to be a nymph, klink & Dink or dry day. It soon became obvious that a single dry looked the favourite with Rodney Wevill taking the most fish ...
PREDATOR 2 – LUNDY ISLAND
I joined fellow Combe Martin SAC members on a trip on Predator 2 out of Ilfracombe. With a promising weather forecast and a good tide Lundy Island was our destination with many options on the days agenda including lure fishing, drifting the sandbanks and anchoring for tope.

The sea was lively off Morte Point ...

I had arranged a day’s fishing with my good friend Jeff Pearce and had arranged to meet at the Arundell tackle shop ...
One cast is all it takes to make a memorable day!
I always relish my trips to Wimbleball savouring each day at this wonderful fishery located deep in the heart of Exmoor. Early to mid-June is undoubtedly one of the best times to visit with Exmoor’s valleys alive with the vibrancy of early summer. Hedgerows and trees that wonderful verdant green that lasts all too briefly before taking on the darker hues of July and August. I arrived at the boat launching pontoons shortly after 8.00am and set up a pair of rods and tackle before pouring a coffee from my flask and enjoyed the view whilst I waited for my ...
