What a fantastic opening we've enjoyed this year, the best for a long time. Loads of anglers have gone away with huge bags of fish of the highest quality. Long may it continue! And with Blagdon opening this Thursday we're hoping for a repeat performance there.

Hopefully the very cold, windy conditions we have today will be gone by then and some warm sunny weather replaces it. Tight lines to everyone this week.
If you haven't been yet it's got to be worth a visit soon.
