The River Tavy

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Tavy

Rising on the heights of Dartmoor, the River Tavy, like the Walkham and Plym, is a Devon spate river renowned for its sea trout, (or peal as they are known as in the West Country), with the bonus of a worthwhile run of late summer/autumn salmon.

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Tavy

The river Tavy has a good run of sea trout, with a catch of 642 recorded in 2010, 313 in 2016. The Tavy Walkham and Plym Fishing Club  manages some of the fishing on those rivers and, although some beats are reserved for members, day and weekly permits are available to visiting anglers for much of their waters. Spinning is permitted for sea trout and this can be the most productive method when the rivers are in spate but when the rivers are running low and clear, wet fly fishing in the day or even better at night can produce good bags and these are the methods preferred by locals.

The Plymouth and District Freshwater Angling Association offers fishing for trout, sea trout and salmon on three beats of the Rivers Plym and Tavy. Options include full membership and day tickets, as below:

Pricing & Conditions (2020 rates)

Full Membership - £150 per season.

Trout Membership - £75 per season.

Junior Membership - £10 per season (must fish with an adult age 21 or over).

Day Tickets - £20 (migratory fish) or £15 (non-migratory fish).

NB. Under 16’s can fish free of charge with an adult member age 21 or older.
