Fishing methods

Bank fishing only
Double bank

Blue Fox Glade is a secluded stretch of about 1,200 metres of single left bank on the Little Dart, with riffles, runs and some big pools. It offers brown trout fishing with a chance of a sea trout or even a salmon in good water.

It is usually lightly fished, probably because of the walk in, and the few anglers who fish it regularly often find a decent stamp of brown trout, with plenty of fish around 10 inches.

Spinning for salmon is allowed before 1 April, and fly only after that. A day costs 2 Fish Pass tokens, booked through the Westcountry Angling Passport.
