Set in peaceful, picturesque surroundings, these two 18th century spring-fed waters that make up Creedy Lakes offer some of the hardest fighting carp in Devon. Abundantly stocked with immaculate commons [to over 31lbs], mirror and koi carp, together with green and golden tench, make it one of the best big fish day ticket water venues in the Southwest. The idyllic surroundings are rich in flora and fauna with many small small birds perching on your rods and brave enough to eat out of your hand. You might glimpse one of the resident kingfishers, spot a deer roaming through the parkland or just relax and watch the busy squirrels.
