Fish species
Anglers on the De Lank River can target brown trout. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.
The De Lank River is a small river in north Cornwall and a tributary of the River Camel. It is about nine miles long, and it springs from Rough Tor Marsh between the two highest peaks on Bodmin Moor, Rough Tor and Brown Willy. It runs south between the peaks, turns south west past the foot of Garrow Tor, and joins the Camel two miles south of St Breward.
The upper river crosses a bare moorland plateau and the lower reaches run through ancient deciduous woodland, passing the De Lank Quarries near the confluence. There are few settlements along it. It is part of the Camel Special Area of Conservation, and otters live along its whole length.
The Westcountry Angling Passport has a beat at South Penquite, near St Breward, which it describes as a fast, clear Bodmin Moor stream with granite boulders and pocket water holding wild brown trout. The beat is fly only and catch and release.
