• Mullet – A challenging catch found in estuaries like Restronguet Lake.
• Sea trout – Occasionally found in rivers, prized for their size and spirit.

Climate and weather patterns

Cornwall’s overall mild climate, due to warm ocean currents, leads to warmer waters and an extended fishing season, stretching comfortably from spring through autumn. Each season offers its unique fishing prospects.

• Spring – Rising water temperatures trigger increased feeding activity.
• Summer – Early mornings and late evenings are prime fishing times.
• Autumn – Preparing for winter, fish feed heavily, though weather can be variable.

Rain and wind can influence fishing conditions, with sheltered spots being preferable during windy days.
