Main Deer fishing evidence · Devon and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
What fish are in the Main Deer?
Monitoring has recorded 10 species across 15 surveyed sites on this water, between 1984 and 2022. These are survey records with dates. They do not establish what is present today, that the water is fishable, or that you have permission to fish it.
River evidence passport
Four signals, kept deliberately separate.
The passport shows identity, survey breadth, evidence freshness and trip constraints without turning unlike facts into an opaque “best river” score.
15 sites · 54 events
10 positive taxa aggregates are shown. More survey coverage is not a fishing-quality verdict.
