The River Dart is a celebrated salmon and sea trout river flowing approximately 48 kilometres through the heart of Devon, England. Rising from the moorlands of Dartmoor, it traverses a stunning variety of landscapes — upland moors, ancient woodlands, and agricultural valleys — before emptying into the sea at Dartmouth. The river is managed with a strong conservation ethic, and its combination of wild scenery, diverse water types, and quality migratory fish makes it one of the most cherished angling destinations in the southwest of England. The Dart Angling Association manages roughly nine miles of fishing, offering a mix of single and double bank access across some of the river's finest pools and runs.
