Fishing methods
Wonham is a River Barle Fishing Club beat on the River Exe, upstream of Stuckeridge Bridge at Black Cat on the A396 north of Tiverton. Heading north from Tiverton towards Minehead, past the Black Cat junction, it is in the second set of meadows on the left of the road. Only the left bank is fished on a Fish The Exe ticket.
It holds trout, grayling and salmon, and sea trout are possible. Fishing is fly only and the River Barle Fishing Club expects salmon to be returned. One rod is available on Wednesdays up to the end of August, with some exceptions, so check with Lance Nicholson Tackle first. A salmon day costs £30, a salmon evening £15 and a trout day £10, and you need to be a member of the River Exe and Tributaries Association first.
