The Westcountry Rivers Trust's
Angling 2000 scheme was started in response to the Trust discovering
a considerable undeveloped fishery on many farms within Cornwall
and Devon.
By facilitating the development
of this resource, the Trust aims to provide farmers and riparian
owners with an economic incentive to protect and enhance the rivers
and streams of the Westcountry.
How the Scheme Works
The scheme operates via a simple
token system. Tokens can be purchased to fish any of the beats participating
in the scheme and come in two parts. The first part is posted in
a marked letterbox, located adjacent to a designated parking place,
at the start of the day's fishing. The second part is a catch return
to be posted in the same letterbox at the end of the day's fishing.
The beats available are listed
in the Angling 2000 booklet. Beats are rated according to their
quality, ease of fishing and species of fish present.
