Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre,

http://selfcateringcottages.blogspot.com/google9ae923ee60002300.html

Hello everyone

Got the Devon fishing catch report for you, plus a lovely picture, but first here is some information on why you should come to Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre whatever the weather.

Fish like low Barometric pressure

However

In an area of low pressure the air has a tendency to rise. This general upward motion means that there is less pressure from the air pushing down on the earth, in other words there is low pressure. As air rises, it cools and if there is enough water vapour it may condense to form clouds and rain. This is why a low pressure is generally associated with wet weather.

Low pressures often form on the boundary of warm and cold air. A small disturbance may cause the pressure to fall along this boundary, causing a circulation of air to develop. This is the beginning of a low pressure, and the boundaries of warm and cold air become weather fronts.

So when its raining the fishing is better.

I'm convinced! when its raining come to Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

Self Catering Late Availability

Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

With only two more weeks to go before the children start back at School marking the end of our peak summer season, we are amazed at how many families leave the booking of their Self Catering Summer Vacation until the very very last minute. All Summer we have have had people calling at short notice sometimes as little as the night before they intend to travel!

Why is this?

Change in the weather - a little maybe but not greatly! So far we have had one really good week all season - so this cannot be the sole reason.

Waiting for a late deal - we believe this could be a serious delaying tactic - everyone likes money off! But waiting until the last minute for this reason could mean no holiday at all or settling for something not up to expectation.

We know that all our self catering family cottages have been booked out since the beginning of June (the one bedroom ones by mid July) when the weather conditions for the Summer were unknown.

So our advice is to you - should you wish to enjoy all that Newbarn Farm Self Catering Cottages and Angling Centre has to offer and the surrounding area - BOOK EARLY to AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!

We hate to have to say no to people - we wish we could take you all, but alas we only have the eight cottages (it was only 6 last year!)

Best of luck with your search

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.

Charity Summer Fayre

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the improvement in the Summer weather conditions are in to stay! We hope that the sun will continue to shine over Newbarn Farm's first Summer Fayre! Set to begin at 11.00am on Sunday 19th August in Home Field, we have planned fun the whole family through to 4.00pm.

A local farmer has very kindly offered to hold sheep shearing demonstrations, children can sit on a real working tractor up in the hay field and have their photograph taken. Fishing fun for everyone, lots of traditional games (sack race, egg and spoon and not forgetting the 'Tug of War'. A giant chess set will keep the more studious ones occupied and for just a little bit of fun - basketball, an adult sized trampoline and table tennis will be available. A bouncy castle and face painting for the younger ones. Traditional Arts & Crafts and local food fayre stalls, plus a huge BBQ and our first beer tent selling amongst your favourite lagers some local beverages!

So let us hope that we have seen the last of the rains for a while and that the sun will indeed shine down on us on Saturday 19th August, so that we Newbarn Farm will be able to raise funds for the RNLI and for the local Primary School.

Hello everyone.

Sorry a bit late this week.

I have shown the catch report for last week, sorry not all is in it.

Click on it for a larger view.


On a very serious note, we are very concerned here at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre,
It is absolutely excellent here, we love it, the fishing is great, the cottages are great, the people are great, in fact every thing is great.
But we are very worried.
Sir Isaac said that it is a basic law of physics, that every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
There is Yin and Yang, Matter and Antimatter.
So Newbarn farm is so extraordinarily great, must mean that there is something extraordinarily horrible because of it.
We feel we must apologise to anyone who has experienced the horrible, just because our Devon Fishing and Selfcatering Cottages are so excellent.

Look below at prime examples of the spooky opposites.



Every action has an opposite an equal reaction to keep the world in balance



The Yin and the Yang.

Could it be a religious thing?



It depends on your point of view.

and remember if we had a very hot summer, there would be repercussions.




So we are sorry that you will have an excellent Selfcatering cottages holiday with us, but please remember someone else is having a horrible holiday somewhere else because of it.

Best or luck

Simon

Devon Fishing ground bait at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

Hello Everyone

I have attached the catch report, sorry it is much larger than it appears but we didn't collect all the figures, so they don't count. Just click on it for the big picture.

Underneath is some ground bait information for your interest.

A Simple Ground Bait from Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

At last the sun is shining here at Newbarn Farm and the fishing has picked up, with the fish taking bait from the bottom and the surface.

A simple ground bait method that we use here at Newbarn Farm and that can be used at other places is a modified pellet based one.

This is how you can make it. Get two pints of micro pellet, place them into bucket or mixing bowl, then add water to the mix. You want sufficient water to just cover the pellet. Leave the mix for about 2 – 3 hours, stirring every thirty minutes, if you can remember.

You can use other size pellets but you will need to adjust the soaking time to obtain the required consistency.

You want to achieve a doe like consistency, which will be strong enough to take any shape you want to mould it into without it falling apart.

You can also add things to this mix i.e. sweetcorn, hempseed broken boilies etc. You can also add different flavoured liquids, so experiment and see what you come up with.

Take the doe like material and mould it around a method feeder, I have shown the Korum flat in line feeder for an example.

You can see how the feeder can have the doe mix moulded around it, the design of the feeder allows you to pack the mixture into it, making a solid mass that will keep its shape.

There is nothing to stop you using the mix to pack around your weights. It may sound odd but the fish do find your hook.

Best of luck with your Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

New Holiday Cottage - Great Success Story!

WOW! We have had our first few guests visitng our new 'flagship' self-catering cottage! The feedback and comments we have had, have far surpassed our exceptions - we feel very proud - and very fortunate to have had such favourable feedback! And we love Badgers Holt too!

Spurred on by such posititivity we have now embarked on a programme of further improvements.

Over the next couple of months we will be making the all important improvements to our other six cottages to make your stay here at Newbarn Farm that 'little extra special' , and I have to say we cannot wait to implement this. Catherine has already ordered new sofas, chairs and footstools for Lambs Gate and has already had fun playing with ideas for personalised wrought iron curtian rails - colour cordoraination already in place!

And don't forget Pheasants Hide - a beautiful romantic retreat - was our first deluxe cottage. Book now to take advantage of our reduced rates until 2008. Remember this was our first renovation project - and we still feel one of our best!

Catherine and Richard are already taking minor stpes on a regular weekly basis to upgrade the reminder of our six cottages, which I have to say even before this renovation are in their present presentation of a very high 4 STAR calibre.
