Sounds to me unless there's a miracle it's been a terrible year for angling, I just hope the water does come and the fish can get to where they need to be to build their Reds and continue the lineage of a once great Salmon river....a beautiful river would not be the same without it's tourists...

Always someone who will want to destroy your fun....if the back end run still exists, this year we HAVE to find out..???

I'm not trying to destroy anybodies fun just an observation you liked!!!!😂😂

 

[luney]

Could that be a brown trout and not a tourist? Either way its a belter of a fish. Well done. Ive seen and caught big brownies up to 5/6lb whilst fishing for salmon on big dirty waters.

No worries, I'm slating a roof in ATM and am getting soaked. Just hope this rain will be enough to give a decent lift. Same story every year now no water in summer to speak of. I dropped out of a good club on the Tyne a few years ago because £800 for half a dozen visits in the backend fishing for coloured fish didn't seem like good value. Woe is me😢😢😉

Funny that I have carried many a tile and slate and felt and batoned up a ladder back in the day when health and safety and H.R. were not yet dreamt up, Thanks and good luck Lez...

It's extortionate p

Extortionate, I used to fish Luneside between the weirs but only day ticket, the money they were asking for a yearly ticket you would have to roof St Paul's to pay for it and that was one day on one day of, but it's collapsed much like the runs of fish on our beautiful Lune and it's a free for all now I see neherdowells throwing flying CS and nobody there to call them to account never mind ask them for there rod licence !! Sign of the times... but I am still maintaining the fish in question was a tourist 😉😉

Wee one this morning around 4lb, another lost a bit bigger. Good water this morning but very few fish seen

 

[barbonboy]

Well done 👍

 

[mastercaster]

Few from today, high water and I thought too dirty but never say never. Not many rods on the river this afternoon

 

[mastercaster]

Half tartan cock fish from this afternoon. Great water but sun was a pain. General feeling is that we have bits and pieces of a run of fish through the top end but with all the high water over the past couple of weeks they are spread out

 

[mastercaster]

Was told by my youngest to add her wildlife photos in too from yesterday. Some real and some less so 😂

 

[crewesader6]

If their is a few fish must be a Unicorn coming in next wildlife photo's....🤔🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

 

[crewesader6]

Would be interesting to hear how many a few is ?? More than the three photos TAA I guess ??

 

[mastercaster]

Well I've had 5, I know of at least another 6, some anglers will undoubtedly keep catches to themselves until the end of the season. We had 47 last year, 2023 was a dire year with only 14. I doubt we will exceed last year but likely already above 2023. Its all relative from the past, less angling pressure coinciding with less fish = much lower returns. Apart from the weekend I've seen very few anglers out specifically for salmon

Well the scores on the doors is Master caster 5 Rest of the world 6 ....I call that a result and final whistle hasn't gone... thanks for the reply Lez

I’ve not been fishing since August and I’ll not be out again until next year. But- in the very low water I did see lots (ok about 5) very large (as far as I’m concerned) fish a good way below The Sheds. I’m not sure if they were huge ST or salmon. But when they saw me and moved off it was apparent that they were accompanied by lots more normal sized brownies. Also saw a couple of cracking fish from one of the bridges in Kendal. I’m guessing that people have been out and catching. See you next year.

There have been a lot more than that caught on the Lune, I've seen at least twice that many from a handful of Ribble rods who fish the Lune. Thing is many of the were clean summer fish whereas on Ribble, bar 4 exceptions,have all been coloured fish that have holed up somewhere whilst many said the lower Ribble was empty. I'm not saying there have been good runs, just better and a lot think. I often wonder how many fish run up the river early on then drop back Sept/Oct and are caught middle river when spawning hormones kick in. Whilst some do colour up in estuary a majority have been in the river somewhere .

For sure I am only referring to TAA waters, I’ve seen many pictures of fish from Bowland Anglers, Gressingham have had fish and I’ve heard of many from the bottom reaches too. Shame we had no water in August for us at the top end.
