Angling trust update

On 16th March the Angling trust gave all the UK anglers the news that they've been looking for, from 29th March night fishing will be allowed, match fishing can resume. This is the news I've been waiting for a long time, I'm not the only one.

Tackle shops and other 'non-essential retail' can fully open on 12th April so of your looking to try some rods or reels you wont have to wait much longer plus you can stock up on your tackle. With the following news most fisheries will be booked up so if you want get a long session in best book at your local lake now to avoid the disappointment (I've got a session booked for the Easter weekend at cackle hills) for all the angling trust update click on the here  

If your new to fishing and want to head on to the bank you must have a rod license in order to fish you can do it online by clicking here but also there is a close season on rivers and canals from March 15th to June 15th, check canal river trust to see if your local stretch of water has a close season. The annual close season helps to protect fish stocks across England when they are spawning by preventing fishing for coarse fish in rivers, streams, drains and specified canals, as well as the ‘site of special scientific interest’ (SSSI) stillwaters.

Just want to give a big thank you to the angling trust for all there hard work, really happy with the latest news and I cant wait for my session, will be trying a new bait company that I've heard great things, will be trying new hooks from Rigworx so hopefully I will catch a fish, I've set some targets this year and they're the following:
  • Catch a 30lb plus carp
  • Catch a 30lb plus catfish
  • Catch a trout 
These targets may seems easy to some but for me they're challenging, I only went fly fishing once back in December and unfortunately blanked but learnt a lot and hope that next time I give it a go I will have a trout in my net. And I'm happy to take you through my fishing journey and that you enjoy my blog and videos.

  With fishing there are a few things you need or want to buy, rods, reel, line, end tackle, bait, bivvy, bedchair the list goes on and on. But there's one thing that every angler must have and that's comfortable, warm clothing. Clothing in fishing is a big market with all the big brands like Korda, Fox, trakker all have there own clothing brand along with all there equipment, but yet there are clothing brand that only sells clothing. Which for me is perfect because they are anglers themselves they know what every angler wants or needs in clothing. Luckily I'm part of a great team at Quarry Clothing Co. Jason and Craig are brothers who started Quarry Clothing Co together and I asked them a few questions Jason happily answered for this blog. I first asked ''What made you start Quarry Clothing Co?'' Jason replied with '' Me and Craig started QC through a love of carp fishing and design and this came together in a range of clothing. We knew we had some ...
