[Devon Minnow 152]

Down the river early this morning hoping to catch a salmon but nothing in the usually places, had seen some seatrout lying up so removed salmon setup and tied on a Brown/Gold Devon minnow and cast upstream on the retrive the typical bow wave follow right to my feed 2m behind the Devon Minnow. Cast out again and again same thing happen, change to a Gold/Black and still the same , changed to Blue/Silver and the same happened again and again just wounded if they are following government guidance on social distancing

In other types of lure fishing it’s normally a sign they have seen enough spinners and plastics for the year, early doors they hit the lures like a train within a few months follows and odd bumps but none of the suicidal attacks of early season, often find a huge fly will bring a bite when the lures fail later in the year

Rapala , mepps and toby's don't get fish attention were I'm fishing devon's and Blair spoons are the only this worth trying waters low and warm, not the best time to fish

Problem is for the most part  minnows included you a pretty much restricted to a straight retrieve with those kind of lures and sometimes you need that little extra action in the lure to pull the trigger something you can pause twitch and then rip ...the salmo rattling hornet  sinking or floating version is a  great  addition to the  arsenal

They won't look at plugs, toby's, mepps or flying 'C'. Not many people use Devon Minnow on are stretch of river they are a lure. which is dying out and to find a good Devon minnow now a days is getting hard each year. Jackies, Mchardy 's ,Lane and Spey sprat are no longer available. The only place I can get good Devon's is John Norris and Spintec in Cumbria. 

Extra movement (sideward) can be achieved by removing the mount and running the shell on some slightly heavier mono a bead then the hook.
