Fish species

Anglers on the Penpont Water can target brown trout, grayling and sea trout. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.

Penpont Water is a small river in east Cornwall and the main tributary of the River Inny, which it joins at Two Bridges. The Westcountry Angling Passport says it starts at Bowithick, and has a beat near Altarnun.

The Passport describes the Penpont as a clear, tree lined trout stream that few anglers fish. It is narrow and the water can be tricky when it is low and the trees are in full leaf, so short, accurate casts and a slow, quiet approach are the way to catch a fish. The beat is booking only, fly only and catch and release, with brown trout and sea trout fished from March to September and grayling from June to October.

Check the details for the stretch you plan to fish.

05Do I need a licence to fish the Penpont Water?
