Fish species
Anglers on the River Lynher can target brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.
The River Lynher rises at about 920 feet on Bodmin Moor and runs about 21 miles to the Tamar estuary near Plymouth. Below its meeting with the River Tiddy, its largest tributary, it is known as the St Germans River. The normal tidal limit is a weir upstream of Notter Bridge.
The Lynher and its tributaries are mostly used for rod and line fishing, particularly for brown trout and Atlantic salmon, and the Westcountry Angling Passport lists a beat at Berrio Mill for brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Liskeard and District Angling Club also holds water on the river and mentions brown trout on the Lynher.
The estuary is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and part of a Special Protection Area, and kingfisher, otter and white-throated dipper are among the animals that live along it.
