Looks like a wonderful stream, Andy! That Brown is a wonderful catch. Can you get access farther downstream, to get closer to salmon, or any trout that may be hanging out in the lower stretches during dry years?

Re: R. Barle, Somerset
I saw a salmon in the Barle last year near Tarr Steps. I think it flows into the Exe and the Exe gets a decent salmon run. I fished teh Exe last year down near Tiverton and caught a couple of nice brownies and saw plenty of rises and lots of small fish. Think I needed smaller flies (<18). Either that or better casting :shock:

Cheers. There is better trouting both upstream and downstream from "my" bit but not better scenery (in my opinion). More consistent salmon fishing can be had downstream by those with more money that me... but on it's day ;)
Or in other words it's my home water and I love it warts and all :D

There were a few olives and stoneflies hatching which brought up a handful of trout. A size 16 Adams accounted for a couple of fish plus several missed or lost, a nice way to waste an hour or so
Together with the beautiful photos, this sounds like the trout fishing in the river is superb!!
