Fish species
Anglers on the River Bray can target brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.
The River Bray is a small river in north Devon and a tributary of the River Mole, which in turn feeds the Taw. It rises on Exmoor, close to the border with Somerset, and gives its name to several villages, among them Brayford. Its first few miles run right by the county line.
The water off the moor is clear and fast, with pools and runs, and the Bray holds wild brown trout and sea trout, with the chance of a salmon lower down. It is generally shallow but rises quickly after rain, and the Environment Agency has level gauges at Newtown Bridge and further upstream at Leehamford.
Parts of the Bray near South Molton are fished on the Westcountry Angling Passport, the token scheme run by the Westcountry Rivers Trust.
