Fishing Articles

We love fishing with bamboo rods on our days off. There is something special about casting cane at our Westcountry trout. It is often thought that you need to have a rod that has been passed down from a fishing relative or you have had to visit antique fishing tackle stores to try and source a rod.

The Devon School of Fly Fishing offers gift vouchers that are available for either birthday or Christmas presents for that someone special.

At the Devon School of Fly Fishing we offer fly fishing tuition and guiding on over 6 miles of the River Taw in Devon. Our lessons are relaxed yet informative and fun. We always make sure that we teach you so that after you have left us you will feel confident to tackle your next fly fishing adventure on your own and will be able to put things right if something goes wrong.

There is something about casting that is really pleasurable. The moment when you have got your fly right into the spot you wanted to. It might be on the river when you are fly fishing for wild brown trout or perhaps you are fishing one of the many reservoirs of the Westcountry that are stocked with trout. Perhaps you are on a beach or estuary casting a fly for bass.

There are more and more anglers taking to the salt looking to catch bass on the fly. If you have a reservoir outfit of a 7 or 8wt rod and line then you are ready to join the ever growing ranks of UK saltwater fly fishers.

The moment the fly fisher is on the M5 they are approaching the gateway to some wonderful fishing for wild brown trout, sea trout and salmon.

If you are heading down to Devon for a fly fishing holiday and are planning to fish the many rivers of Devon such as the Exe, Taw, Torridge, Teign or Tamar then you will need to get into the river and wade.

If you are heading down to Devon for your holiday and would like to experience either guided fly fishing or some fly fishing tuition then the Devon School of Fly Fishing is ideally located to take you on a fly fishing adventure!

For salmon fishing in Devon we have found that using a switch rod has been a big advantage for us and for our guests when we take them salmon fishing.

It is often thought that the best time to catch sea trout is at night time. This is certainly the case but there are also opportunities to catch them during the day too.
