Teign and Dart, in that order,but then i am biased!
Sea trout fishing should be well under way as will the brown trout fishing.
Cheers

Get in touch with Angling 2000.
www.angling2000.org.uk
Wonderful stretches just right for the visitor (and lucky residents I guess)
Any vouchers left over from the visit to Devon can be used in the Wye and Usk stretches and within the Eden scheme. Worth buying just to support what they are all doing.

Default otter

The river Otter is right next to bovey tracey and has some excellent brown trout fishing there.Also sea trout and if you like a bit of a dabble there is also mullet in the lower part closer to bovey.Its an excellent water and I have spent many hours fishing on it and even saw a grayling caught on it which was a surprise as its not known for any grayling.You would have a nice evening on there imsure with a zulu or black spider or a whickhams.
edit
I got budliegh salterton mixed up with bovey tracey which is where the otter is sorry about that but its still a nice river,the exe is also worth a go.

I love the Lyn, the fish aren't big, but the scenery is stunning. Truly fantastic fishing, very dramatic. It's only £3 a day as well.
I haven't fished the above so can't comment.
