Arundell Arms - Ottery Beat 16

Ottery (16): The Ottery Beats are only ones in Cornwall, It holds good stocks of brown trout, and arguably the biggest, with some fish over the 14”. The Ottery also has reasonable stocks of Grayling with some reaching a considerable size for the river. The Ottery is a small river, averaging 6-8m in width, generally slow flowing but with some big pools and meanders. Plenty of tree cover, with certain deep stretches inaccessible due to high banks, but ongoing maintenance and access improvements continue to be in place. Beat 16 is another beat with good access and easy wading, from the parking area we’d recommend fishing the first portion of the beat from RHB fishing upstream and then bounce between the banks to fish each pool. Anglers will need to wade to access the best waters and full chest waders are advisable.
