"Fire and Water" two day safari based in Ermington
This safari offers the non-angler the opportunity to work with Richard Bent (Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths) using the traditional skills of fire, hammer and hand to make a sculpture, snail paperweight or for the adventurous a fishing fly made from steel. Richard is based in Modbury a few miles from Ermington.

This safari offers the angler the opportunity to fish on two Dartmoor rivers for wild brown trout and sea trout.

Each day you fish on a different river located within easy reach of the luxurious Plantation House Hotel in Ermington. In the evenings you can relax over dinner or try your luck for a sea trout on the nearby River Yealm.

If required your guide will transport you to the river each day.
