Welcome to the Drift Reservoir Trout Fishing Website - www.DriftFlyFishing.co.uk.

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Drift is a 65 acre clear water trout fishery situated in a large valley 2 miles west of Penzance, 200 metres from the main A30 to Lands End. Depths vary greatly around the reservoir, a deep area close to the dam and a shallow wooded area at the opposite end to the dam - click here for a map.

FISH

Rainbow and Wild Brown trout. Stocked monthly with fish averaging between 1 and 3 lbs. For some variation Arctic Char were introduced last year, but these have proved difficult to catch....will you be the first! Fishery records: 8lb 3oz Rainbow, 9lb 11oz wild Brown.

FLY INFORMATION
