FISHING HOLIDAYS IN DEVON

Angling & fishing holidays in Exmoor & North Devon

  The master anglers weigh in their catch   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.

 

Exmoor Cottage Holidays is perfect for your angling and fishing holiday in the UK. The self-catering rental cottages are in an excellent central location from which to enjoy all the best angling in North Devon & Exmoor; they are well-equipped; have log fires and private gardens; can accommodate large groups up to 20; and there is an award-winning pub and a village shop within 300 yards.

 
 

 

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.
