About Kernow Fishery

A Family-Run Labour of Love in the Heart of Cornwall

Welcome to Kernow Fishery. While we are known for our exceptional carp and coarse fishing, we are far more than just a venue—we are a community.

Founded by Ryan and Suzanne, Kernow Fishery is the result of years of sheer passion, grit, and a vision to create a space where everyone feels welcome on the bank. We have poured our hearts into transforming this land into one of Cornwall’s premier angling destinations, driven by a simple mission: to offer top-quality fishing while supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of our visitors.

Whether you are a specimen hunter, a match angler, or a complete beginner, you aren't just a customer here; you are part of the family.

🎣 Why Choose Kernow Fishery?

We pride ourselves on high standards, safety, and inclusivity.

We believe a fishery should be a sanctuary. That is why we have worked hard to ensure our venue is professionally managed, fully insured, and recognized by the UK's leading angling bodies.

✅ A Safe & Inclusive Environment

Safety is our priority. We are fully insured and DBS checked, creating a secure environment for families, lone anglers, and vulnerable groups. We actively partner with local agencies to ensure our fishery remains a safe haven for all.

✅ Cornwall’s Leading Educational Venue

We are proud to be an Approved Cornwall Council Educational Venue. We work alongside schools, charities, and alternative provision organizations to deliver tuition sessions that get young people outdoors and active.

✅ Home of "The Mighty Anglers CIC"

We host Cornwall’s only approved weekly kids’ fishing club. Recognized by the Angling Trust and the Environment Agency, The Mighty Anglers CIC runs every Saturday, giving the next generation the best possible start in the sport.

✅ Angling Trust Wellbeing Partner

Fishing is good for the soul. We collaborate with charities across the South West to promote the therapeutic benefits of angling, helping to support mental health in our local community.
