Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre

Hello everyone

Alright where did that rain come from.

Devon fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre is proud to present

Wettest June since records began
Wettest July since records began
No surely not, we are not going to believe it.
We are going to have a virtual August and I don't mean virtually the wettest August since records began.
What ever the weather we are going to have sunshine inside.

Here is the catch report for last week.








For your information we have explained 9 common fishing terms.


Hook (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A clever advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his live savings on a new rod and reel. (3) The punch administered by said fisherman´s wife after he spends their life savings (see also, Right Hook, Left Hook).

Line - Something you give your co-workers when they ask on Monday how your fishing went the past weekend.

Lure - An object that is semi enticing to fish, but will drive an angler into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card to the limit before exiting the tackle shop.

Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when dropped into water.

Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.

School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your £15.00 lures and hold out for real dog biscuit.

Tackle - What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in, but just before he wrestled free and jumped back in to the water.

Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehensive first aid kit. Only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so that when you reach in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid, you soon find that you need more than one.

Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an angler when fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A measure of your creativity in blaming "that darn line" for once again losing the fish.

Wishing you the best Devon Fishing ever.
