 Kingfishers and rare dragonflies |
Trerulefoot Plymouth, Cornwall PL12 5BW United Kingdom +44 1752 84 9027 http://www.bakelakes.co.uk |
The fishery consists of seven lakes, three of them stocked with trout and four with coarse fish; one lake also has large carp in it. Coarse fishing is best from April until November and the trout fishing is good all year round. If you forget your rod you can hire one, and tuition can also be arranged. It is wonderful place for seeing local fauna in their natural habitat. Kingfishers are common and you may even see rare dragonflies as you fish. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Worm dangling |
Plymouth Hoe Plymouth, Devon PL1 United Kingdom |
The area from Devil's Point in the west and the mouth of the Catterwater in the east provides opportunity for the shore angler without leaving the city. Between July and October mackerel can be caught on West Hoe Pier. Another good spot is Devil's Point, where many species can be caught. One word of warning: on a spring tide the currents are very dangerous and a slip into the water could be disastrous, so take care. There are many other places where shore fishing is possible. The visiting angler can call in at Clive's Tackle and Bait in Exeter Street for advice and bait. There is extensive offshore fishing in Plymouth Sound from Plymouth Hoe and many charter skippers are available for the visiting angler. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brown trout fishery |
Lower Goodacre, Broadwoodwidger, Plymouth, Devon PL6 0JL United Kingdom +44 1409 211507 |
Fishing in such beautiful surroundings for wild on-grown brown trout is a truly magical experience, which can be enjoyed from 20th March-12th of October. There are eight miles of banks to explore so fishing for brown trout in solitude is perfectly possible. The fishery operates a catch and release policy so barbless hooks are required on all flies used. The largest fish taken so far was a brown trout of 5lb 7oz. All fishermen must hold the correct EA Rod licence. Charges Day ticket for trout fishing £11.00, evening ticket Mon-Fri £8.50. Review © 2007, Wcities |
