The fishery offers two miles of private river bank in a tranquil and idyllic setting for uninterrupted angling. There are 17 named pools over four beats, often referred to as the nicest stretch of river with some of the best fly fishing on the River Torridge, with the fish records and testimonials to match. This exclusive Mid section of river is ideally nestled between Dolton Bridge and Beam Weir, Great Torrington.
The four beats can accommodate 4-5 anglers with a lunchtime rotation. The entire river bank is extremely accessible to accommodate both inexperienced and experienced anglers. Some pools have shingle beach stretches which can be fished with comparative ease. Wading is required to access some of the pools, however there is plenty of fishing to be enjoyed from the bank.
Little Warham Fishery has the added benefit of a sizeable well equipped Tudor style fishing hut, offering well deserved rest bite, comfort and shelter after or during a hard days fishing. The fishing hut is steeped in history with a 33lb salmon recorded and etched above the fireplace - perfectly placed to warm the anglers appetite!
Why you need to fish here
The first salmon will show during the months of March, April and May, however the most productive times are during the summer and early autumn, given the correct conditions and water levels. The Salmon season opens on 1st March and spinning is permitted until the 1st April. Small and medium double handed salmon rods and switch rods are perfectly suitable for use on the Torridge. Floating and intermediate lines tipped with 10-15lb nylon leader are adequate for the river. Hair winged flies and flies of orange, yellow, black and silver tend to be favoured.
