Angling holidays are very popular in Exmoor and North Devon
because of the wide variety of fishing available (coarse, fly, sea & game);
easy access from the UK motorway network; the peaceful unspoilt countryside
and the many local attractions for non-anglers.

Fly fishing for brown trout is available nearby at Wistlandpound reservoir, which has a delightful walk around its 41 acres, and at Blakewell Fisheries in Muddiford. Blakewell has a shop selling farmed rainbow and brown trout and the whole family can hire 'rods' here and catch their own trout within a few minutes, using sweetcorn - success guaranteed !
Coarse fishing for carp, bream and roach are available at many small lakes in the area, for example at Little Comfort Farm near Braunton, Riverton Lakes near Swimbridge and Mill Park in Berrynarbor.
Sea fishing, using spinner or bait and weight, is available at any of the small coves on the north coast, for example Combe Martin, Hele Bay and Lee. Boat charter and sea fishing trips are available from Ilfracombe harbour.
For the serious game angler there is fly fishing for wild sea trout and salmon in many local rivers including the Taw, Bray, Barle and Lyn. Guided tours and tuition are available if required.
Rod licences are available from the local Post Office in Challacombe, as are permits for Wistlandpound reservoir. Other local permits are available from the gun shop in Dulverton (telephone 01398 323409), Variety Sports in Ilfracombe (01271 862039) and Lynton Tourist Information Centre (01598 752225).
