Fishing in Cornwall
With its mile of coastline, large bays, numerous reservoirs, lakes and the gulf stream from the Atlantic Ocean it's obvious that Cornwall is a fisher's paradise.
In nearly every port chartered boats take visiting fisher to the best sites around the coast. The Shark Angling Club of Great Britain makes it's home in Looe. Tackle Shops are abundant and sell everything that a fisherman needs.
There are many lakes and reservoirs around the region offering a wealth of coarse and fly fishing.
Whether you are fishing for Basking Sharks or Trout or Pollock you will find the equipment, sites and the fish that you need to have a relaxing, secluded and enjoyable fishing experience.
Environment Agency Fishing Licence Requirements for Freshwater Fish
A two-tier licence now covers the single licence for all species. The previous 7 day licence has been extended to cover 8 consecutive days and a new one-day licence has been introduced. The licences are for salmon & sea trout and non-migratory trout & coarse fish. Environment Agency rod licences are available from every Post Office in England and Wales.
