Is there any free or relatively cheap river trout fishing in or around the Honiton area of Devon, would anyone know?

Cheers,

Rich

There is about three quarters of a mile of free fishing on the tidal section of the river Otter at Budleigh Salterton. This is between the lowest two bridges on the river (the upper one of the two being a foot bridge). It cannot be described as wilderness fishing, a very busy footpath runs all along the river here and it is overrun with grockles.
At the other end of the scale the Deer Park Hotel at Weston near Honiton will sell you a day ticket for the Otter for £30, which to my mind is a rip off.
The Otter above Honiton is a good little brook in places but most of it is taken by syndicates.
Angling 2000 http://www.angling2000.org.uk/ have a beat on the Culm near Collumpton which is cheap enough but I have no first hand knowledge of it.

Tight lines

Thanks Andy...dare I ask, what the hell is a 'grockle'...? Sounds like something out of Star Trek!

It's worse than that (he's dead Jim), they are usually out of the midlands, tourists

Oh them...

I shall be a tourist for the week, but I'm out of good old Sussex by the sea, so I'm OK. And I've got no Klingons....
