Static holiday home and seasonal touring pitch occupiers have an eleven month non-residential holiday usage season.

 Warwickshire's River Arrow (left) has to rank as one of the prettiest stretches of moving water in the Midlands with weir pools, fast moving shallow stretches and deeper slow flowing glides and pools. Studley Angling Society has two lengths of the river which are available either on a day ticket or membership basis. Differing in character, the Wixford stretch near Ragley Hall offers a half mile stretch which will appeal to barbel and silver fish anglers whilst the mile long stretch near the parish church in Studley is smaller but full of fish and offers some cracking angling for those who like to roam from swim to swim. |
Following the success of last year's night fishing sessions at Broad Acres, the fishery is now taking bookings for sessions in 2014.

Details of dates for both events will be released shortly but anglers can register an interest by telephoning 07599 695316 or e-mailing broadacresfishery@aol.co.uk. |

 Hillview Lakes has introduced free fishing for everyone who stays in the on-site chalets - saving £7.00 a day for all resident anglers.

 The River Wye is widely acclaimed as one of the best coarse and game fishing rivers in England and Wales, and for those who want to combine a few day's fishing with the comforts of a well appointed and historic former coaching house there can be few better places to stay than the 16th Century Portway Inn between Hereford and Brecon. An ideal base for the many river and stillwater fisheries in the area, the inn has access for residents to Byford Pool - a one mile stretch of the River Wye which offers barbel and chub fishing.
 The 30-acre Arrow Valley Lake in Redditch offers a total of 70 pegs and holds carp to 30lb, a large head of bream to 5lb, decent roach and rudd to over 1lb and specimen perch to 3lb, all of which show regularly to both pleasure and match anglers.
