Thank you for you interest in Bannister Rods.  This site is designed to give an insight into myself, the fishing that I do, and the split cane rods that I make.

I’m based in North Cornwall in the South West of England.

The area is “blessed” with fairly high rainfall, clean air and a low population density, in other words pretty good wild trout country.

The fishing is mainly small stream although there are a few bigger rivers that get good runs of sea trout (sea run browns) and thanks to the hard work of local organizations (See the links) an improving salmon population.
