Fishing methods
These are the Wadebridge & District Angling Association’s lower Camel beats, upstream of Wadebridge: Wadebridge Meadows (beat 1), Pencarrow (beat 2) and Denby (beat 3). The association’s map shows the water running along the Camel Trail from the edge of Wadebridge, past Pendavey Bridge, Pencarrow Wood and Burlorne, to Grogley Weir and Cottonwoods Bridge, with marked entry points, crossing points and parking. It names pools such as Church Corner, Iron Bridge, Tin Hut, Garden Pool, Island Pool, Bridge Pool, Station Pool and Whirly Pool. This listing covers the three beats together.
Most of the association’s sea trout fishing is on this lower and mid river, and many of the bigger fish are caught at night on the fly between May and mid-August. The association says salmon fishing is mostly with spinning baits, and that fish run larger in the autumn. Every salmon must be returned.
Members fish on their membership, and non-members can buy a day or weekly ticket on the association’s website between 1 May and 30 September.
