Devon Fishing at its best

Hi Everyone

The Devon Fishing has been a little slow this week

Have a look at the catch report, click on it for a larger image

Fishing has been slow this week, at least to start with, but then we have had at least 4 out this
morning.

The Newbarn Farm Boilies (Chocolate & Pineapple) seem to be working well and more and more fish are being caught using them. We hope to have Pop-Ups in the same flavours very soon.

Baz Hoskins had a lovely 5lb 9oz Eel out this week. He caught this using a ledgered Roach head.

Jim McCourt wins the catch report lottery this week.

Some good fishing from the self catering holiday cottages congratulation to everyone.

Will be in touch next week.

Cheers,

Richard.

Newbarn Farm - one of the best Devon Fishing Holidays

August the month of the Regatta & so much more!

Holidays don't get much better here at Newbarn Farm, not only is the Farm a fantastic spot for some of the best fishing in Devon it also offers 4 Star luxury accommodation in 8 beautifully decorated Self-catering Cottages for all family sizes!

Within a 10 mile radius of this tranquil spot there are numerous activities and events happening all year round. This month of August being a time when things really hot up:

Spectacular entertainment for sailors and non-sailors alike - and the appearance of some familiar visitors overhead! August as always promises to be as action packed as ever here in the bay, commonly known as the English Riviera. One such event, now in it's second year is the Ocean BMW Torbay Week 2009 - Friday 21st - Wedenesday 26th August. This is an exciting NEW event replacing the existing Torbay regatta's (Torquay, Brixham & Paignton). That means lots of good racing and plenty of shorebased excitment for visitors and spectators too! The setting couldn't be better either, with the large sheltered bay providing fantastic sailing conditions in a climate that is noted as being much warmer than the rest of the UK. There will be plenty of live music at the Harbourside, and finally the Red Arrows will close the event with a stunning air display.

Another fantastic event is the famous Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta taking place from Thursday 28th August through to Saturday 30th. The Dartmouth Royal Regatta provides probably the most enjoyable entertainment throughout South Devon's calendar! In a glorious setting over 200 crafts from Yachts to Dinghies compete in over 15 sailing events, local rowing clubs compete in Eights, Fours and Pairs fighting it out over the testing course. The Regatta committee have managed to put together one of the best public air displays in Europe - The Red Arrows will be performing on Saturday, The Typhoon, Lynx Pair, Merlin and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will all be putting on shows through the week. Plus Treasure Hunts, Regatta Rock, Crab Fishing Competitions, Children's Fancy Dress Competition, Firework Displays, Tug of War and so much more!

And for all you Mamma Mia fans who hard core Abba fans - not one but two performances of Abba Mania at the Princess Theatre Torquay. Join in and enjoy all of your favourites including: 'Mamma Mia', 'Voulez Vous', 'Dancing Queen', 'Winner Takes It All, 'Super Trouper' and many more on Yuesday 18th August or a week later on 25th August - Adults £16.50, Children £8.50. Doors open at 7.30pm.

Devon Fishing at the Self Catering Cottages

Hi Everyone

Well another good Devon Fishing week at Newbarn Farm. The Mirror Lake is now at it’s normal water level and producing plenty of sport. Lots more fish came out than are reported but even the ones reported are good testament to the lake being the place to fish.

Gary Davenport fished from 4:30am on Saturday morning and by 10:00am he had a 100lb bag of Bream and he had caught 8 tench to 8lbs which he released after catching !!

This is by far the biggest bag I have witnessed from Lilly Pool. I have seen plenty of 50lb + bags but this session was just tremendous. Well done Gary, you also won our catch report lottery for a day ticket, maybe you should do the lottery this week !!!!

Ryan Tunstall, who is a regular at Town Parks Fishery, had a great session at Newbarn, topping it off with a Queenie catch ! We look forward to seeing Ryan again and lets see what he can do on his next visit.

All pools seem to be producing fish regularly.

See Bob Coles Carp catch on Willow followed by another good set on Mirror a few days later.

The selfcatering cottages are fully booked with fisher people and non fisher people alike, everyone's having a great time and the weather is being quite kind

We will be back next week..

Cheers,

Richard.

Hi Everyone

Great Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Self Catering Cottages and Angling Centre

Firstly well done to Conor Nettleton for winning the Paignton Sea Anglers Junior match

Runner up was Chris Meah and third Aaron West, so well done to them also. All proceeds taken from the match and all upper pools are being donated to the PSAA’s selected charities.

Newbarn Farm and the PSAA supplied 3 prize bags of goodies. Newbarn Will sending the PSAA a cheque for £ 100.00 towards the PSAA’s Charity funds.

Alex Cooper, a regular at Newbarn Farm Angling Centre, had a great session of 48 hours taking over 150 lb of fish from Mirror Lake on almost exclusively Pineapple Boilies. One came out on a floating dog biscuit.

Maddy Sheppard wins the Catch Report Lottery day ticket. She can collect from the bailiff.

After the fire we are now operating from the hire shop which is not ideal but will suffice for the time being. We will be building a new 12metre by 6metre shop very soon. Thanks to everyone who have offered support during this time, we appreciate your offers and loyalty.

Thanks to all our fishing guesst in the self catering cottages

We will be here again next week so see you soon.

Cheers Richard.
