Angling Manager, Darren Stride's Update

Fishing in Devon has never been so good!

Queenie our celebrity Mirror carp was reeled in by Dave Whitfield from Bath last Sunday much to his delight! Queenie was in great condition and weighed in at 26lb 14oz. Dave also caught two commons 14lb and 12lb fishing from Hut 6 on the banks of Mirror Lake. Just last week saw a record catch of 957lb 6oz being caught here at Newbarn Farm, a great Devon Fishing Holiday location. Most came out of Mirror Lake, but a few came out of Island and Rosie. For Jonny Davis from Paignton, sweetcorn in the margins rewarded him with three carp caught from our new Hut 11. Anglea Graham caught a 22lb 11oz Common which was not bad for her first time fishing whilst on holiday here at Newbarn Farm, proving to be a great Devon Fishing Holiday!

Darren Watt from Brixham, one of our regular chappies pulled out a beautiful Common Carp not recorded before, weighing in at 23lb 6oz he aptly named her 'The Big C', other fish caught by Darren on Sunday were all Mirror Carp - 19lb 4oz, 18lb 20z, 18lb 4oz, 17lb 4oz and 17lb.

Unfortunately for Mr Taylor and his friend who turned up on Thursday 1st May for a weekend of quality fishing in Devon - not a bite! Naturally they were not too happy and complained to anyone who would listen. Dave Whitfield and his friends who were also staying on the banks of Mirror (a get together before Dave renews his weeding vows after 25 years of amrriage) put us straight when he reported that no wonder why as they pulled out their rods after their first day. And that was that! There is nowt as queer as folk!

So all in all some fantastic fishing in Devon here at Newbarn Farm and for some a memorable Devon Fishing Holiday!

Speak soon
