Wye magic ✨

Being unwell, I missed the chance to fish the Wye on the way down to Cornwall, so I had to settle for a session on the way back up to Edinburgh; and it didn’t disappoint!

The water was still relatively low (a common theme this year) and very clear, so fishing the twilight hours felt like the best approach. It turned out to be a cracking session, with a few barbel and 14 chub; mostly in the 4lbs category and one absolute unit of a fish. The impressive thing about each fish, however, was the fin-perfect condition of each of them! All were immaculate, which was fantastic to see. You really can’t beat pristine, wild fish!

I packed up long into the evening; out of bait and very content, and strolled home through the eerily quiet night, reflecting on another magical Wye visit and my last river session of the year.

After a week in Looe for the annual ‘Looe Basher’, it was great to have a day mucking about with the family in Ilfracombe - fishing gear in tow!

Excellent weather and chasing species, with 8 caught - and a bonus one-clawed lobster - it was the perfect way to spend a gentle day at the water’s edge.

It was also great to help a first time angler in need of help get to grips with the basics of fishing, even snagging himself three species (all of which were proudly photographed and sent to his mother as proof of his triumph!) Another member added to the angling community.

Fabulous couple of weeks off. Apart from contracting what I suspect may have been covid at the very start, and a couple days lost to blowy conditions, it was a fantastic couple of weeks off, with decent fishing, great company with friends old and new, and an abundance of excellent food and drink.

I really in enjoy the annual ‘Looe Basher’ and I have to say, the quality of the company was even better than the fishing. When we were able to get out, the fishing was productive, with multiple species caught across the board, over 10 sharks in one day on Sowenna fishing trips and the week topped off with couple of decent tuna for the father and son team of Harry and Bernard Crick. The real highlight, was the sighting of a fin whaWarrior II Sport Fishing Looea minke whale just behind the boat on the last day, accompanying hordes of dolphins. Absolute magic!

Loads of smiles, laughs and memories made among a fantastic group. Thank you to Dan Margetts of Sowenna fishing trips, and Pete Davis of Warrior II Sport Fishing Looe for their excellent skippering and company, and to all who make these weeks a superb occasion. I can’t wait for next year’s Basher.
