Fish Pass - Beat 34: Tresarrett

About Beat 34: Tresarrett

A stunning section of the River Camel with 6 named, accessible pools providing excellent salmon and sea trout fishing. The beat also offers spectacular dry and nymph fly fishing for wild brown trout with plenty of varied waters to be explored. 2020 catch returns showed lots of Brown trout reaching the 12" mark with the most successful methods being upstream dry and duo. From June onward Sea trout filled the rivers, providing excellent fishing for both sea trout anglers and the unsuspecting daytime brown trout angler. Plenty on Salmon were observed throughout the 2020 season with locals in the area catching a good number on both Fly and Spinner tactics. New to 2021, 0.3km of LHB covering fishing from Ham Pool downstream to Bridge Pool is now available to fish.
