Fishing | Game Fishing

The South West is renowned for its excellent game and fly fishing, offering the angler a huge variety and choice of fishing; at all levels. And West Venn will provide any discerning angler both a strategic and ideal place to stay.

If your quarry is a large brownie or rainbow, there are literally dozens of delightful local lakes to choose from, most set amidst glorious countryside. Many offer more than one choice of lake to test your skills. The "beginners" (or shall we say confidence booster?) lakes with fish averaging between 1lb & 3lb, to the more testing lakes that are stocked with double figure fish.

On the rivers there are so many beats, glides and pools, the game fisherman will be spoilt for choice. Whilst very much dependant on water levels for a good run of salmon, the river systems in the South West have an enviable reputation for putting more than their fair share of "the king of fish" in anglers nets, every season! The best chances of success being August through to October. In May and June, expect the larger stamp of sea trout, whilst from July onwards enjoy the prolific school peal runs. The trout can be caught all through the season, but from late April expect to see them to spring into life, with the lowland streams providing some exciting sport on the dry fly. There then, of course, follows the usual mayhem during the mayfly hatch! And with grayling regularly being caught to over 3lb, the South West and West Venn Cottages make for the perfect choice of holiday for any fly fisherman.

For your convenience, we can arrange all your beats and permits, ghillies if required. Prior to your arrival we will provide an update to the river conditions and a guide to what is being caught and what flies are taking the fish. Run by an angler for anglers, we will endeavour to exceed all your expectations. For information on the local rivers and beats, we recommend you click onto www.angling2000.org.uk

You are reminded that an Environment Agency rod licence is required to fish waters in Devon and Cornwall.
