The Fishing  

Originally an out and out pike fishery, Trenchford is now attracting the attention of many carp anglers looking for something of a challenge. The reservoir itself it fairly large at around 33 acres and is co-joined with Tottiford reservoir which is also a large water at around 40 acres. Situated in the Devon countryside inside Dartmoor National Park and surrounded by some truly stunning woodland. The main fishing area is down to the left hand bottom corner where multiple catches of carp up to 24lb have been reported by anglers using simple straight lead and boilies at long range.

Lots of pegs available, with the addition of optional boat hire.

Boats must be booked in advance. [01647 277 587]
