Fishing
I have fished Little Warham for thirteen years and have taken many fine salmon to 23lbs and sea trout to 7lbs. I have had many encounters with deer, otters, badgers and much more, in what can only be described as spectacular countryside. I believe the new owners Anthony and Amanda will ensure the uniqueness of the fishery is preserved to the benefit of those who love fly fishing and for posterity.

Accommodation
There are two self catering cottages on site. Little Warham Cottage (sleeps 4) and The Wing (sleeps 8). The accommodation can be booked alone or with fishing included.
Salmon
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.
Brown Trout
Fishing at Little Warham can be exceptional for brown trout with the more favourable months being May and June. Light single handed rods with a dry fly and a cautious approach should tempt the most spirited brown trout.
Sea Trout
Traditionally Sea Trout enter the river in April with June, July and August being the most productive months. Fishing during late evening through to dusk in to darkness provides exceptional fishing conditions. 10lb sea trout are not uncommon, with fish recorded up to 12lb. Two methods of fishing are often used, one being a similar set up to salmon, with a favoured sea trout fly. The alternative approach, for the more seasoned angler would the option of using a lighter single handed rod, fishing dry fly up stream.
