Fishing Holidays in Devon!

Casper our celebrity Ghost Carp

Mirror Lake has been seeing a lot of action recently now that the weather is warming up with the prospect of summer being a reality rather than a hopeless pipe dream!

Jim McCourt from Paignton fished Hut 1 last week and using only luncheon meet caught a beautiful Mirror carp weighing in at 25lb 12oz. Over at Hut 3, Kevin Elliot from Torquay had taken a day off work to celebrate his 30th Birthday with a day of fishing! He caught two beauties both Mirror of 18lb 8oz and 16lb 8oz on sweetcorn, always a firm favourite!

Baz Hoskins another regular used tiger-nut Pop-ups and caught 16lb 12oz Mirror and another of 17lb 6oz in the margins over a bed of pellet and bird food!!!!

Mr and Mrs Lewis from Gloucester on a Devon Fishing Holiday for a week at Newbarn Farm spent the week fishing Willow and Lily with mixed bags of perch, rudd, roach, bream, tench and the odd smaller carp of over 20lb each per day. Citing that they had had a fabulous holiday they caught over 200lb of fish over a five day fish and will be returning next year.

Jim Pike our friendly electrician was fishing on Mirror only yesterday and what a glorious Bank Holiday we had here. Jim had a very pleasurable day in Hut 7, three Mirrors of 18lb, 16lb and 14lb plus a Linear Mirror of 12lb, one 6lb Ghost Carp and his highlight of the day catching Casper weighing at his best weight to date – 21lb. Jim is pictured here with his prize.

Newbarn Farm - probably one of the best Fishing Holidays in Devon
