RIVER CULM – PADDLEFORD BRIDGE POOL

This is a very small stretch continuing on from the Association’s Killerton Estate fishery. This is a very popular water with many fish being present in a relatively small area, it is particularly good in the winter months when the main river (Culm) is coloured. Unfortunately, there are not many swims available here; this in turn can at times cause it to be crowded, especially at weekends, whereas on week days sees very little pressure. Quality roach and bream are in residence along with the occasional good chub. Well worth a go, especially if other local waters are in flood. The fishing starts at the bridge and continues downstream for 60 yards.

Directions:
From Exeter, head for Tiverton on the A396, you will come to the small village of Stoke Canon, continue on for approximately 1 mile and you will come to the village of Rewe. In the middle of the village turn right signed Columnjohn, go on this road for a short distance and after you will pass over a railway bridge, just down from here you will come to another small bridge with Paddleford pool being found immediately below it, our fishing extends from the actual pool and downstream on the main river for 60 yards.
Note: If you continue on the road you will eventually come to Killerton.


Additionally: Same as with Killerton and Beare Gate fisheries
