River Creedy & Exe

Brief description of fishery:

Both of these rivers are relatively under fished waters despite their close proximity to Exeter and the quality fishing available on the two adjoining rivers. There are anglers who take advantage of the fact that both waters are extremely close to each other and walk across the small field separating the waters and fish either the faster flowing Exe or the slower moving Creedy.

River Creedy: Offers all species of fish with carp, chub, dace and roach, the latter being the most prominent, there has have been reports of the occasional large carp being caught from the deeper water. The favoured tactic for the silver fish during the summer months is trotting with a waggler or stick float using maggot or caster. Whilst not known for its pike; there have been reports of big pike taking lure and dead bait; for the adventurous angler the Creedy can throw up a surprise.

If you like slow moving river fishing then the above would be ideally suited, if however, you prefer to fish a faster flowing water then a short distance away and running more or less parallel with the Creedy is the Association’s other water at Cowley Bridge – the River Exe, walk across the field to the river exe.

River Exe: on simple tackle, with maggot or flake proven to be effective baits. Due to the low angling pressure and high levels of natural food, both rivers has the potential to produce quality fish.

Season: 16th June – 14th March

WARNING: Beware of power Lines on this water.
