Fishing Holidays in Devon
Yeatheridge is an ideal choice for a relaxing fishing holiday in Devon, combining peaceful lakes with comfortable on-site accommodation. Our fishing lakes are a private, on-park facility, meaning you can enjoy a quieter, more relaxed fishing experience without public access.
The Top Lake (Beginner Friendly)
The top lake is well stocked and perfectly suited to beginners and pleasure fishers. It is stocked with a mixture of Carp, Crucians, Tench, Rudd and Bream, typically averaging between 2lb – 4lb, with some fish reaching up to 5lb.
The Bottom Lake (More Challenging)
The bottom lake offers a more challenging fishing experience and is stocked with tench and carp. It was stocked in 2022 with carp and tench from the top lake, which are now estimated to be around 3 – 6lb. In January 2023, a further 21 carp were introduced, averaging 12.8lb, with the largest weighing an impressive 15.9lb – making this ideal for anglers looking to target larger fish.
Fishing is permitted from dawn until dusk. Night fishing is not allowed.
