Nick and Sue Hart announce the reopening of this delightful Fly Fishery close to Dulverton.
Anchor Lake is once again open for fishing. The fishery have received several inquirers from anglers keen to fish and have therefore opened the doors in time for the weekend.
Please note that there is weed present in the lake although the algae situation is much improved. Dry flies and top water tactics will be needed, long leaders tied to goldheads and heavy lures will result in frustration rather than good fishing!
We advise that all anglers check the lake prior to making a decision to purchase a permit (which must be paid for prior to fishing), please see the relevant rules and details regarding the current conditions in the permit hut. A fresh stocking will take place in time for bank holiday weekend.

As cooler air moves in with rain and wind small stillwater’s will start to fish well. A dry daddy long-legs could well be the pattern to try with weed still problematic to anglers who fail to adapt to conditions.
