Fishing in Cornwall

Cornwall is a great place to get hooked

Fishing has enjoyed a long history in Cornwall and still remains central to local culture. The sport of fishing naturally slows your body down and lets you unwind - it's just a bonus if you are lucky enough to bag some fine fish on the end of your line.

Take some tips from local fishermen before you pick your spot, but whether you choose a rocky outcrop or bob off the coast on board a traditional fishing boat, you can cast away your worries and appreciate the waterlogged landscape as you wait for your dinner to snag its bait. If coarse fishing is more your bag, then Cornwall has plenty of superb, well-stocked lakes around the county. Often there's on-site accommodation, so you never have to carry your gear too far. Check out the online Angling Guide.
