i was at fenworthy (no 24 ) a couple of years ago and the brownies there are great not to much to fish there and good to get to if you can read a map

my 4 year old at the time caught one of 1lb with some wool on a bit of line in 3" of water while he was playing , no hook but the beasty would not let go so out it came

There's some excellent fly fishing on the Teign, Dart & Exe. And some good free fishing at Avon Dam near Buckfastleigh.

Is the Avon dam stocked - and what size fish are up there?

[Greenheart]

I believe it's lightly stocked with Brownies. I've never caught anything big there but the fish are very pretty. Traditional methods are best. Cast then move along a pace & cast again to cover the water. A team of small dark flies fished close to the bank. Biblio', zulus & Daiwl Bachs do well for me there, fished very slow. Takes are usually lightning fast tugs. The downwind end of the lake usually fishes best.

Thanks for that - it's definitely on my list for next season.
