River Exe - Cowley Bridge

Details

A faster running water than the Creedy with a good head of fish in situ, mostly consisting of roach, dace and chub, the preferred areas to fish being the smooth, deeper runs that are found throughout the stretch. In addition, there are a few back eddies in which to fish, in the right conditions these back waters can be very productive.

Directions:
From the city centre take the Tiverton/Crediton Road (A377), approximately 2 miles out of Exeter you will come to a mini roundabout where you can go left on the A377 for Crediton and straight on the A396 for Tiverton, do not go on either of these roads, instead you will need to park in this area. Once parked, walk over the first railway/river bridges on to the Crediton road and after approximately 30 yards there will be a gateway on your left, go into the field and go left for the River Exe and right for the River Creedy with our boundaries as given below.
