Fishing
Devon provides a wide range of fishing options, and Crediton is central to them all. The coasts provide superb rock and offshore fishing, as well as the increasingly popular saltwater flyfishing for bass and mullet. Our rivers are some of the most famous in Britain, providing principally game fishing for salmon, sea trout and brown trout, but also excellent coarse fishing in the lower reaches of the Exe and in canals, and much of the freshwater fishing is available on inexpensive visitor permits.
In addition, we have an abundance of stillwaters, ranging from small private fisheries to vast and scenic reservoirs, offering a wide choice of fish species.
For those who are just starting out, or who want to lean a new skill, we have some of the county’s best fishing instructors and guides clustered in this area as well.
So plan a real fishing holiday! There’s all the information and links you will need on this one website.
