Westcountry Sea Trout Festival We are proud to present the third annual Westcountry Sea Trout Festival – a celebration of Devon and Cornwall’s most exciting game fish. This year’s event has been moved to coincide with what is usually the prime week of night fishing at The Arundell Arms. Each night, anglers will enjoy what is surely the pinnacle of the fly fisher’s art, on the rivers Tamar and Lyd on the Devon / Cornwall border. Now in its third year, the festival has proven most popular with experienced trout fishers looking for a new challenge. We find that once bitten by the night fishing bug, there is no going back! Each morning, the Arundell Arms instructors, David Pilkington and Tim Smith, will run a series of workshops, demonstrations and tuition events. In the afternoons, you can choose to walk your allocated beat with our ghillies and instructors and pick their brains about where the fish lie and the best way to approach them. In addition, the instructors and other local guides will be on the beats each night to offer help
