| Finlake Holiday, Newton Abbot The wife has just booked a long weekend holiday to Finlake. Tried to get info about the lake onsite, but have had difficulty. Norfolkboy posted a thread back in the olden' days, but no follow up on species etc. Would be grateful for anything regarding this site! Just looking forward to a break really, but with piscatorial facilities, opportunities not to be missed! Cheers DB&DB     |

| Re: Finlake Holiday, Newton Abbot I've stayed at Finlake many years ago. Very nice site, although I never fished the site lake. However there is some top class Sea Trout fishing just below the site on the river Teign. I bought a day ticket for that in a tackle shop at Newton Abbot. So make sure you take a fly rod mate. After dark is definately best. __________________ Don't Judge My Path If You Haven't Walked My Journey... |

| Re: Finlake Holiday, Newton Abbot Hi Elliot. I stayed at Finlake about 4 years ago. It is a fantastic holiday park. Finlake has several lakes that you can fish. They contain Carp, Bream, Roach, Dace, Tench and Perch. lovely location and as Ian says there is a fantastic river running just below the the park. I believe it also has a run of Salmon. Make sure you take your rods and get us some more points for the hunt. Sean. __________________ Check my blog for a daily fishing forecast from Weymouth, Portland, Chesil Beach & Kimmeridge Bay. www.fishingtails.co.uk |
