Fishing

Coarse Fishing
Bake Fishing Lakes, near Trerulefoot, has nine separate coarse angling lakes set in 30 acres. You'll find carp (including some big specimens in the carp lake), rudd, roach, gudgeon, pike and eel. There is an onsite tackle shop and fishing tuition (by appointment).
There are also a number of other local venues including Stonerush Lakes, Trewandra and Rosemellyn.

Game Fishing
The Tamar is one of the finest game fishing rivers in England, with salmon and sea trout, brown trout and grayling. The Fowey, the Lynher and the Inny are also excellent.

The game fishing season varies from river to river. Liskeard & District Angling Club has beats on all of the region's rivers west of the Tamar and can provide advice. Visitor tickets are available on their website.

Siblyback Lake and Colliford Lake are reservoirs and provide good fishing. Siblyback has stocked rainbow trout and can be fished from the bank. Colliford is arguably Cornwall's best brown trout fishery. GTickets and details are available on the Southwest Lakes Trust website.

Sea Fishing
Boat trips for sea fishing can be booked at a wide range of local harbours, Looe being a good place to start.
