Wagland Farm Lake offers exclusive carp and coarse fishing holidays set in 80 acres of beautiful rural South Devon

Waglands fishing lake offers exclusive carp & coarse fishing holidays to suit all needs and levels of skill from challenging specimen carp fishing to exceptional all round coarse fishing and abundant silver fish perfect for children and those new to fishing. Waglands lake was created and stocked in the mid 90’s and is a beautiful 1.5 acre lake set in 80 picturesque acres of South Devon countryside.

Carp fishing

Waglands carp are beautiful as they are varied, including all types of mirror carp, ghost carp and its hallmark large common carp

Wagland Farm Lake holds a good head carp to over 30lbs including around 40 carp of between 18 - 30lbs and a good number of single and double figured carp with an average weight of around 20lbs. Waglands carp are renowned for their beauty and variety, with all types of mirror carp from near leather to fully scaled mirror carp, ghost carp to 23lbs and it's hallmark of many beautiful large common carp to over 30lbs. Most fishing methods will produce with the majority of carp falling to high quality freezer range boilies though surface baits and carp and coarse fish pellets are also effective. Please note though that due to the high average size of the carp and other specimen coarse fish Waglands lake does not hold a large stock of small carp, so whilst multiple catches of carp are quite possible in good conditions Waglands caters best for anglers seeking carp fishing holidays for specimen quality carp.

Coarse fishing

Waglands fishing lake offers exceptional all round coarse fishing with a large stock of Tench, specimen Perch, Pike and incredible Roach & Rudd

For anglers who enjoy tench fishing there is a large head of hard fighting tench to 6lbs + providing enthralling sport. Float and ledger techniques produce excellent results fishing with coarse fish pellet or sweet corn fishing over hemp and in good fishing conditions many good Tench can be expected.

Waglands offers some of the best Roach and Rudd fishing to be found in Southwest England with Rudd to 3lbs 12oz and Roach to 3lbs 2oz. Float fishing or ledgering tight to lilies with large baits such as pellet to keep away small fish can produce amazing results.

There are also beautiful specimen perch up to 3lbs 13oz and recently stocked fast growing pike to about 10lbs for anglers who enjoy predator fishing. Due to the mild South Devon winters our fishing lake provides good all year round action.
