The lake lies secluded in a beautiful and tranquil valley, a fold within North Devon’s rolling countryside. Rainbow Trout are stocked all year between 2lb’s and 18lb’s with Brown Trout stocked from April to September. All trout are produced at Blakewell, so anglers will be guaranteed razor finned hard fighting trout and plenty of them. Average wt. 2.95lb.
Careful attention to the keepering of the lake and margins provides a continual variety of fly hatching, encouraging the trout to feed. Huge amounts of Damsels will hatch, flying from yellow iris growing in the shallows. Popular flies used at the Fishery are Pheasant tail nymphs, Buzzers, Hoppers, Daddy Long-legs, Small Gold heads and of course Damsels.
