The River Teign
Sea Trout Fishing on the River Teign
The River Teign is a noted sea trout river
(2008 catch 589 sea trout) in Devon, South West England. It
begins high in the moors of the Dartmoor National Park.
There are two sources which form the North and South Teign,
which meet near Chagford. The Teign then plunges into the
dramatic wooded gorge which starts beneath Castle Drogo and
continues for about seven miles past Fingle Bridge and on to
Clifford Bridge near Dunsford. From there it continues south
to its estuary at Newton Abbot and on to the sea at
Teignmouth.

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Teign
Sea trout fishing is best in late spring and
throughout summer, with night-time fly fishing accounting
for most of the fish.
Much of the
river is available to the visiting angler, with about 12
miles of the picturesque upper reaches controlled by the
Upper Teign Fishing Association,
which offers permits to visiting anglers at very reasonable
rates.
