Just a few miles outside Haverfordwest in delightful Welsh countryside is the three pool Ginger Hill Fishery in South Wales (right) which offers angling for coarse fish and trout on three pools as well as comfortable accommodation in a modern Four Star rated cottage and camping and caravaning in a 10-acre conifer wood. Within easy striking distance of St Davids and some delighful beaches, this makes an ideal venue for combining a summer family holiday with a spot of fishing - and the chance to eat what you catch!

Horseshoe Lake at Alvechurch Fisheries in Barnt Green

Alvechurch Fisheries in Barnt Green (left), just a short drive from the M42 motorway in the Midlands, is undergoing a dramatic rejuvenation following a change of ownership and months of hard work to make it appealing to pleasure, club and specimen anglers. The lakes have been cleaned and re-stocked, the banks and pegs improved and the facilities are now being uprated to provide an on-site tackle shop and toilets. This one is already well worth a visit and will get even better in the months ahead.

Jack's Lake at Parkers Fishery in Bulkington

A well established and popular venue in Bulkington to the north of Coventry, Parkers Fishery caters for angling for carp to 30lbs, crucians to nearly 3lbs, tench to 8lbs, barbel to 5lbs as well as roach, bream and skimmers on its delightful 44-peg Jack's Lake (left), as well as pleasure and small club match angling on its canal-style match lake. Suitable for disabled anglers, Parkers has a roadway around the pools and offers behind-the-peg car parking, a cafe and toilets.

Hollybush Pool at Pipehill Fisheries near Lichfield

Developed with pleasure anglers in mind, Pipehill Fisheries, just off the A5 near Lichfield, has two intimate tree-lined pools crammed with lush vegetation and a third open rectangular pool with a central island where the fishing is classed as so easy that if you can't catch - you can't fish! Although there are no monster fish, the pools are stocked with carp to just over 20lbs, crucians to 2lbs, plus good heads of roach, rudd, tench, bream and some cracking gudgeon. Pipehill is open all year round but does not allow matches in summer.

The new British record silver bream
Silver bream record smashed
The UK silver bream record has been smashed at Mill Farm Fishery in West Sussex following the landing of a 2lb 14oz specimen. The capture came after the record was beaten several times within the space of a few weeks at the fishery near Pulborough. Not only should its captor Phil Morton get into the record books - but he should also net £7,500 because of a special clause in his tackle insurance policy for holders who net a new British record.

Recession and costs stifle angling coaching

The current economic recession and the high cost of obtaining the relevant qualifications are deterring people from becoming angling coaches, according to Mark Eacock of the Midlands-based Worcester Angling Academy.

Professional angling coaching, he says, is the latest casualty of the recession that has already hit tackle manufacturers and retail outlets, many of which are closing at an astonishing rate. People are also being deterred from becoming coaches because of the cost of obtaining a National Governing Body Coaching Certificate, which Mark Eacock describes as "prohibitive" to individuals who do not receive funding or sponsorship, especially during the current economic climate.

Tring introduces daytime season permits

Anglers can now purchase a new £120.00 season permit which enables them to fish Hertfordshire's three Tring coarse fish reservoirs during daylight hours. There are no concessionary rates for the new day season permit, which is an alternative to the £200.00 season ticket which enables anglers to fish both day and night. Both season permits include a car park ticket for the pay-and-display car parks at the reservoirs.

Application forms and a full copy of the regulations are available from Dick Pilkinton of Tring Anglers who can be contacted by e-mail at rpilki6002@aol.com or by telephone on 01582 841985 and 07796 178313 (mobile). The season permits are available now and run from April 1 until March 31 the following year.
