The coming year is expected to see an increase in the number of fisheries coming to the market following the removal of political uncertainty as a result of the general election and the Brexit process moving forward, according to fishery sales specialists Fenn Wright. The company said: "Our view is that there is some pent up demand from buyers who have been assessing their options and postponing investment. The main factors which support this include the availability of bank borrowing, which is still available on reasonable terms, together with low interest rates." Click here for the full story |

What is believed to be the Warwickshire Avon's biggest ever barbel has been taken from Anchor Meadow by Worcester angler Sam Hall at an incredible 18lbs 1oz - just 4lbs short of the new national record which was set recently on a southern river. Sam's fish
smashes the venue's previous barbel record of 16lb 2oz which was set in August last year by Coventry tackle dealer Paul Nixon and is the latest in a stream of big fish to come from this popular venue. |
2020 was another cracking year for fishing at County Durham's Angel of the North as match records tumbled in quick succession culminating in a huge haul of 602lbs taken by Angel regular Andy Hudson setting a new venue record. Follow the link for more information. |

Because of the appaling weather over the last couple of months and many fisheries reporting a significant drop off in the number of anglers going fishing, we have decided to hold off publishing details of Rosefern Pool. However, here's what you will be able to look forward to when spring eventually arrives!
A little known but delightful pool hidden from the main A44 Worcester to Leominster road as you enter the market town of Bromyard, Rosefern Pool was for many years run as a syndicate water but opened for day ticket angling early in 2019 and has already attracted a small but faithful local following. Stocked with more than a dozen species including carp reputed to run to 20lbs, it is an easy water to fish with natural grass pegs and few facilities except for a hard standing car park. It is ideal for parents with younger anglers as the roach and roach/rudd hybrids can give you virtually a fish a cast. |
Fairgirth Trout Loch offers fly fishing from the bank and a boat for rainbow, tiger and brown trout between 2lbs and 15lbs about four miles from Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway. An attractive water with some lovely fish, Fairgirth is about two acres in size and has a small Members Lodge which is often open when season ticket holders are fishing the loch. Day tickets are avaiable from the local tackle shop.
Anglers who love finding remote fisheries will love Betchcott Lake (left) deep in the countryside just north of Church Stretton in Shropshire. Although Betchcott was developed 40 years ago by daming a valley, you can be forgiven for thinking it was formed naturally. If you love fishing far from the madding crowd at a venue which is set in delightful surroundings and where you are almost 100 per cent certain of a good day catching a variety of fish - this will be the place for you! Follow the link to check it out.
New at Leicestershire's Temple Farm Fishery is Dad's Pool (right). Believed to date back to Medieval times and possbly as early as the late 1200s, Dad's is a delightful medium-sized pool with islands and abundant water lilies which is set apart from the main fishery at the far end of the main pool. If you love secluded fishing in delighful surroundings you ought to try this one. |
