Why not try the Devonshire Fly-rod MacNab - a wild brown trout, bass and sea trout... on the same day!<br />On the spring tides of July and August, sea trout run the rivers of Devon and school bass swarm in the estuaries. Sieze the opportunity to enjoy a full day's guided fly fishing for these truly wild fish, in spectacular surroundings at the Arundell Arms.<br />If you think this is for you, if you can cast competently and walk a mile, then contact the hotel for details.<br /><br />We now have three dates available (<span style="font-weight:bold;">Tuesday 1st July</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Monday 18th August</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Tuesday 19th August</span>), for up to six anglers (between two guides) each day. These dates are bookable on a first-come, first-served basis, exclusively for hotel residents.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2368/2456801380_b67a67de03_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2368/2456801380_b67a67de03_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Typical Itinerary</strong><br /><br /><em>10.00am Trout fishing on hotel rivers<br /><br />12.00pm Drive to Torridge Estuary (approx. 1hr)<br /><br />1.00pm Packed lunch on the water<br /><br />2.00pm Bass fishing on the flooding tide<br /><br />6.00pm Drive back to hotel<br /><br />7.30pm Dinner<br /><br />9.30pm 'til late!
