Wild trout, Bass and Sea Trout... in one day. Fancy a challenge?

The north coast is a bass fisher's paradise!
The 2012 tide tables have just arrived on the fishing office desk. We've got four dates earmarked when timing couldn't be better to try for an Arundell Arms Macnab - a trout, bass and sea trout in the same day. If you are an experienced fly fisher and fancy some challenging fishing in some of Devon's wildest surroundings, then this could well be for you. During late June, July and August, bass swarm in the estuaries and sea trout run the rivers. At the same time, wild brown trout feed freely and will snap up a dry fly that's dropped on their noses. We've run the Macnab for three seasons now and while the hit rate is dependent on weather and river conditions, get it right and it's a very attainable target. This is a hugely fun day (and night!) out for individuals and especially for a group of close fishing pals. All fishing is guided by AAPGAI instructors David Pilkington and Tim Smith. The bass fishing will take place on the spectacular north Devon/Cornwall coast while the trout and sea trout night fishing will be on the hotel's private water on the Tamar and tributaries. The dates we have are as follows:

Monday 18th June 2012
Monday 2nd July 2012
Tuesday 17th July 2012
Wednesday 29th August 2012

Price: £195 per person. £595 for a group of up to six.
We take a maximum of three people per guide, so a party of four to six persons will be guided by two instructors. All tackle can be provided at no extra cost. Accommodation and meals are extra - please see the hotel website for more information. To book or for more info, please contact us on 01566 784666 or via reservations@arundellarms.com.
PS: Our fishing course dates are also all now available on the hotel website.
