Welcome to Wagland Farm Cottages

Wagland Farm 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 holds a good head carp up to 30lbs, with around 40 carp of between 18 to 30lbs and averaging 20lbs with many carp of 25lbs and over. Waglands carp are also 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 the lakes 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.

Coarse fishing

For anglers who enjoy tench fishing there is a large head of hard fighting tench to 7lbs + 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.
