Fishing

The Fernery is perfectly located to cater for all types of fishing just minutes for Slade Reservoirs, Ilfracombe Harbour and local deep sea fishing charters.

Fishing 

Nearby Lower Slade is stocked with mirror and common carp to 25lb, bream to 8lb, perch to 4lb, roach, rudd, gudgeon and pike to 22lb. Slade was restocked in 2007 with 50 carp weighing 4-5lb and again in 2011 with 40 carp averaging 14lb.

The local pier at Ilfracombe is an amazing place to catch fish such as bass and mackerel and is great for younger members and families.

Ilfracombe has an excellent tackle shop - High Street tackle -  with a mesmerising array of Bass lures in particular. 

Fishing charter boats can be hired from Ilfracombe Harbour and you can go as a group or join a group for a half day/ full days fishing. The most popular trip for young families is the Mackerel fishing trip which last 1.5 hours. From Ilfracombe harbour four hour deep-sea fishing trips are available.  All vessels are strictly licensed and are fully insured for passenger carrying. All skippers have full maritime qualifications and a wealth of experience for fishing the Bristol Channel.
