Trews Weir – Why Fish Passage Matters to the Whole River ExeWe would encourage our members to read this article published by Exeter Today concerning Exeter City Council’s revised proposals for repairs to Trews Weir.As an angling association with fishing interests extending throughout the River Exe catchment, EDAA has a direct interest in ensuring that migratory fish can move freely upstream to reach their traditional spawning grounds.Trews Weir is a significant obstacle to upstream migration. Difficulties experienced by salmon and sea trout at this point can have consequences far beyond Exeter, potentially affecting spawning success, future fish populations and the game fisheries further upstream, including waters where EDAA leases fishing rights.We recognise the importance of maintaining Trews Weir and welcome investment in its future. However, it is equally important that any repair scheme delivers effective, sustainable fish passage rather than simply preserving existing difficulties.The health of the upper River Exe is directly connected to what happens at Trews Weir.We hope Exeter City Council, the Environment Agency and other interested organisations will work together to ensure the revised proposals deliver the best possible outcome for the river and its fish populations.We encourage members to read the article and take an interest in this important issue.Exeter & District Angling Associationwww.facebook.com/share/p/14um51dTm8k/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Some one was asking if they can transfer Pike caught in Harpers into the Canal. The answer is definitely no its illegal to do that and anyone found, seen doing that will be dealt with accordingly. The E.A. don't allow this and we stick to the rules.
Today’s Over 55s match was fished by 9 anglers at S. Peverell ponds. First on the day from apparently “ the worst peg on the pond “was Mark (moaning) Branson. The majority of his catch came from 2 carp, weighing 23lbs, plus some silver for a total of 27lbs. Second from peg 7 on the railway bank, Barry Westerly had 3 carp for 16lbs 8ozs. Rich Howcroft was third, peg 9, again carp made up the majority of his 14lbs 11ozs catch.The next match will be on 28th oct,Abbrook being the venue. Please book in as usual.
