Fishing

Whether you fancy a spot of river, reservoir, fly or coarse fishing there will be somewhere on Dartmoor to cater for your needs. Dartmoor is renowned for its sparkling clean rivers, noted for their fishing of wild brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Much of the river fishing on Dartmoor is privately owned but stretches of the East and West Dart Rivers may be fished on the purchase of a Duchy of Cornwall permit (contact 01822 890205).

Dartmoor also hosts stunning lakes and reservoirs surrounded by towering tors. Reservoir fishing is also available within the National Park. Information about reservoirs and permits is available from the South West Lakes Trust on 01837 871565. www.swlakestrust.org.uk (external link, opens new window)
