Porth Reservoir, set in a steep sided valley surrounded by woodlands just outside Newquay, is a beautiful destination for your next fishing escape.
This Cornish coarse fishery is very mature with overhanging treelines and large beds of lily pads and weed. It contains carp to 38lb and is home to some stunning fish such as ‘The Chestnut common’ which is a very sought after common carp closing in on 40lb in weight.
