Blakewell Trout Fishery - Barnstaple

Our five acre Fly fishing Lake lies secluded in a beautiful and tranquil valley; a fold within North Devon’s rolling countryside.

Rainbow Trout are stocked all year with some of the largest stillwater Trout in the Country!  Brown Trout are stocked from April to September. All trout are produced at Blakewells own Fish Farm, so anglers will be guaranteed razor finned hard fighting fish and plenty of them in our crystal clear spring fed waters.

We offer a full range of fly fishing equipment from the tackle room. Snowbee fly rods and lines, and their fly reels are exceptional quality at a good price. We are happy for you to take the chosen combination out onto the lake and try before you buy. Tackle hire is available; the full combination. If you are just starting, or left your kit at home, we carry all the tackle needed to hire for a days fishing.

Bring the family to Blakewell Trout Fishery and Water Gardens and catch some trout, it is a great family experience. You can always just have a go at feeding the fish. We are a fully working fish farm; learn about Trout and Carp production from egg to adult stage.

You can Learn to Fish at Blakewell with easy casting for beginners. Fly fishing Tuition can be arranged in advance at £40 per hour with all fishing tackle provided - Please enquire for further details and booking.
