Beat 24: Wiggaton

With just over a mile of LHB, Wiggaton has long provided good brown trout fishing and, at times, good numbers of grayling. Trout season runs from 15 March to 30 September and Grayling 16 June to 31 October.Say it quietly but, like the other beats on the Ottery, it too is a cracker! There is a good head of trout around the 10” mark although it produced a monster of 2lb in the past. The beat has a number of deep corner pools and fishy spots and usually benefits from a good mayfly hatch. Easily accessible with a range of runs and pools makes this a popular beat. Another year with not enough attention, but despite the quite fishing, it still produced plenty of brown trout and a chance grayling.
