Fishing Breaks & Expert Guiding with Anthony and Amanda
Based at Bridge Farm, Sheepwash
Welcome to a new chapter of fly fishing in Devon. Following our relocation to Bridge Farm near Sheepwash, we are pleased to offer a complete riverside experience—from comfortable accommodation to expert Spey casting tuition and guided days on some of the Southwest's most beautiful waters.
About Us
As the former owners of Little Warham Fishery, we bring over 9 years of experience in providing premium fishing experiences. During our time there, we were proud to offer self-catering accommodation that was rated 5-star across both of our properties.
While we have now moved on from Little Warham and no longer offer fishing there, our passion for these rivers and our commitment to high-quality hospitality remains as strong as ever. We are incredibly excited to now be offering three different accommodation options at our new home, Bridge Farm, providing the perfect base for your angling adventures.
