River Fowey
Polruan Fishing
Motor boats can be hired from Fowey by the day or the week, if taken for several days a mooring at Polruan can be arranged so that you can us go straight to your boat load up and get out, then you have a choice of the river Fowey and its side valley off shoots, or the Harbour wall or Rocks at the old Castle gate house are also good. Be prepared this river is full of fish but they are not easy. Large Mullet in the rivers best caught on light tackle (Roach type of rods best) Salmon and trout also to be had up the river. John Dory in the harbour and all other species also, be warned this harbour is up to 50ft deep in parts so many types to be had.
There are a couple of river side pubs up river and many little beaches to land at and be alone, all that's required is keep it tidy and take a little rubbish away so as to help preserve this place.
