Having the hills and the river more or less on my doorstep is why we decided to move here. Glad its the only place our son will probably remember living he was only one when we moved here.

Lovely footage of a river I know well and miss very much. Forgive me, but the music's a wee bit OTT. It's not Coast or an Attenborough doc ;) Again, lovely footage though and a wee tear-or-two from here in Oregon. Thanks DAA :)

Great video, I fished the Devon (trout/fly) many times when I was a lad. Unfortunately the wild trout fish population is sparse, that is fish over a few ounces anyway. It could really be doing with a long term stocking program to kick some life into the fishing. I could imagine it being a very popular place to fish if there were enough good sized trout to catch.

The river is a wild fishery and does not get stocked. Brown trout from 1-3lb have been caught in the river and the club have been noting that the average size of fish is increasing since stocking stopped and all anglers were encouraged to catch and release. This year, anglers have been reporting catching numbers in their teens and twenties when they headed out. Two anglers tackled the top of the fishery from castle hill down and managed 40 trout between them. The fish are there for sure.

@@fishingaroundtheforth It must have been around 2003 the last time i cast a line on the Devon, so a long time ago. It is good to hear of these improvements, hopefully the wild fish population will continue to flourish then and the local anglers get a good fishing experience from what is a beautiful little river.
