Hello
i had the opportunity to fish the famous beam weir on the River Torridge last week , something l have wanted to do for a long time
l had got there in the dark , could hear fish jumping , all good signs , set up with a medicine fly l had made earlier in the day , 9ft leader ,
floating line ,
A take almost straight away , after an epic fight , got it too the net , quick picture and back , five casts , and another huge take ,this fish wanted
to get back to the sea ,felt very big ,after some time , heart in mouth , l started getting , line back ,onto the reel ,one frightening run ,and all was over ,slipped over my gye net , what a battle ,in the dark it felt huge , so l hurriedly got pictures , and back into the river ,two big fish in 40 minutes
here are the pictures , BASS ,BASS , the pool was full of them !!!!!!!!
l packed up and went ,after 4 more tiny fish about 1/4 -1/2 lbs
as far as l know , and talking to a few who fish it ,bass have not been caught there before .we all know they come up the river ,l fish for them in the day ,towards the sea ,
They have a small waterfall to get up ,the water is fresh ,it's not possible for it to have any sea water in it .
very strange !
what do you think ?
