Fishing

Coarse Fishing
The Lakes of Mawgan Porth Pools are on the edge of the Sun Haven Valley Park and offer both a "specimen" lake and a larger well-stocked lake (1.5 acre) with 46 pegs to fish for mirror & common carp, tench & bream. Catches of 100lbs + have been recorded by holidaymakers at Sun Haven Valley and regular competitions are held.

If you are looking for a variety of fisheries during your stay, we are within a few miles of Meadowside fisheries and Porth Lakes. which is part of the South West Lakes Trust
The South West Lakes Trust organisation have a dozen or so lakes around Cornwall from Siblyback & Colliford trout lakes up on Bomin Moor down to the coarse fishing on Argal Lake at Penryn.

For commercially stocked trout lakes, the Temple lakes, high on Bodmin Moor (easily accessible by car and some 30 minutes drive away) are two lakes of 2.7 and 4.5 acres on a sheltered site. In peaty water,with depths between 11 and 20 feet, one is an "any method" lake & the other "fly only".

Trout Fishing
For 'natural' trout - we are within reach of Stithians lake - probably Englands most westerley large trout fishery, and in the other direction Crowdy Lake near Camelford offers trout fishing to fly, spinner or bait.

Salmon & Sea Trout
The easiest access to these is through the West Counttry Angling Passport which sells day tickets to a selection of river fishing, booked in advance in the relevant fishing seasons.

Beach Fishing
We are of course only 15 minutes walk from mawgan Porth beach and experienced anglers tell me that Bass can be caught off the headlands.
