The Fishing is hooing up at Newbarn Farm

The carp league match is really hotting up with Jimmy Whack in the lead at the half way stage. Over 150lbs of carp were caught this weekend gone with Jimmy taking 8 fish to 13lb 12oz. Ian Robinson , photographed here, caught a lovely 20lb Leather Carp as well as a Mirror and Common to 15lbs.

My favourite catch was Richard Chesters 23lb 4oz Mirror from Hut 10. Pictured here with the boys looking on!!

This weeks lottery winner for a free day ticket is Luke Martin of Paignton, well done to him. His ticket can be collected from the Angling Centre.

The three musketeers from Paignton, Jonny, Matt and Mike all did a 36 Hour Session together bagging over 25 fish between them. To our delight the new Newbarn Farm Pineapple Citrus frozen boilies really came into their own and helped the lads reach this great catch of carp.

Will be back next week. Thanks for all your support.

Cheers,

Richard.

Meet the Pigs at Newbarn Farm

Meet Molly, Polly, Dolly, Jakers and Ferni!!!

Alas Ferni was a little shy for this photo shoot and decided to hide whilst his brother and sisters shone in the limelight, Jakers especially warmed to the camera! Saddleback cross with a large white these weaners have been with us now for seven weeks and will continue to flourish on the farm in the sun for another two months. We have a viewing platform for our guests to see and feed with scraps from the kitchen - they especially love potato and carrot peelings. Hopefully this week we will be extending their enclosure by fencing of the old quarry for them to explore and root up the delights hidden under the dense foliage there!

Just another delight to welcome you at Newbarn Farm and another string to our bow!

Fishing Holidays in Devon!

Casper our celebrity Ghost Carp

Mirror Lake has been seeing a lot of action recently now that the weather is warming up with the prospect of summer being a reality rather than a hopeless pipe dream!

Jim McCourt from Paignton fished Hut 1 last week and using only luncheon meet caught a beautiful Mirror carp weighing in at 25lb 12oz. Over at Hut 3, Kevin Elliot from Torquay had taken a day off work to celebrate his 30th Birthday with a day of fishing! He caught two beauties both Mirror of 18lb 8oz and 16lb 8oz on sweetcorn, always a firm favourite!

Baz Hoskins another regular used tiger-nut Pop-ups and caught 16lb 12oz Mirror and another of 17lb 6oz in the margins over a bed of pellet and bird food!!!!

Mr and Mrs Lewis from Gloucester on a Devon Fishing Holiday for a week at Newbarn Farm spent the week fishing Willow and Lily with mixed bags of perch, rudd, roach, bream, tench and the odd smaller carp of over 20lb each per day. Citing that they had had a fabulous holiday they caught over 200lb of fish over a five day fish and will be returning next year.

Jim Pike our friendly electrician was fishing on Mirror only yesterday and what a glorious Bank Holiday we had here. Jim had a very pleasurable day in Hut 7, three Mirrors of 18lb, 16lb and 14lb plus a Linear Mirror of 12lb, one 6lb Ghost Carp and his highlight of the day catching Casper weighing at his best weight to date – 21lb. Jim is pictured here with his prize.
