 Coverage and awareness of National Fishing Month will be stepped up this year following the decision by 'Go Outdoors' to sponsor the initiative by organising store events across the country, promoting local outdoor events and giving away hundreds of gift vouchers as prizes.
National Fishing Month 2012 takes place between July 20 and August 27 with over 100 events already listed online at the new website www.nationalfishingmonth.com. This year's National Fishing Month will be launched with coarse and game coaching sessions at the CLA Game Fair at Belvoir Castle. Coaches from the Professional Anglers Association, the Angling Trust and the Community Angling Regeneration Project will be on hand to encourage and advise Game Fair visitors to have a go at fishing. |

 We had hoped to feature Spring Rock Fishery near Llandrindod Wells in Wales, last year but a sudden problem with weed growth meant the number of fishable swims was dramatically reduced. Since then the problem is being eradicated and the water is now virtually clear. Stocked with more than 350 mirror, common, ghost and koi carp to 25lb as well as a good head of crucians, the lake is about two and a half acres in size and is set in a dramatic and remote location with its own log pod for those travelling any distance.

 The culmination of six years work, Chester Lakes offers four main pleasure lakes with bags of silver fish and carp to 12lbs. Despite being only three miles from the city of Chester, the fishery is set in rural surroundings and is available for match and pleasure angling with its own campsite. The cafe is open all day every day and work is currently in hand to develop a four acre specimen pool which will have only 14 pegs and be stocked with double figure fish and a new match pool.
 To be found between Chester and Crewe in Cheshire, New Farm Fishery has three well maintained lakes which offer day ticket pleasure fishing for carp and silver fish; a large camping/caravan park with hard standing 'super-pitches'; a heated toilet/shower block which is also available for use by anglers; and a modern clean and spacious Bed and Breakfast annexe with five well-equipped bedrooms and light and airy dining room.
