Bickleigh Beat

This is a stunning beat just above Bickleigh, very little can be fished from the bank due to the wild wooded banks.  There are many deep holes and the start of the beat has trecherous, jagged bedrock which can easily catch out an angler.  Moving up the beat, the river becomes a little more friendly and there are some beautiful runs.  Wild Brown trout can be found here.  Refer to the TFFA Beat Map PDF for which bank to fish from.  Click Here to see the start of this beat on What3Words
