Paul Goes Fishing: Environment Agency Fishing Lists!

The bit you should read.

I’ve always been an angler and after around the country moving I wanted to discover and document the best places to fish (where ever I might be) in the way of rivers, lakes, canals and ponds. When previously fishing in South Wales I often fished in club and winter league matches, however living up north presented me with new challenges, venues and angling clubs that I acquainted myself with. Now down in the South West I plan to do the same.

This fishing blog details my angling adventures around the UK (although depending where I am in the country I also sea fish from both Boat and Shore, Carp, Pike and Fly fish). I will be giving a summary of 3 values considered by most anglers as well as the additional Disabled Access rating. Since being diagnosed with CIDP and regaining my motor function Disabled angling and Disabled access is now something I always consider when visiting venues. They will all be rated on a scale of 1* to 5*;

1. Fishability *****

2. Accessability *****

3. Value for Money *****

4. Disabled Access *****

I think these 4 points are the key issues which are readily identifiable with all anglers. Feel free to take a look and add your own comments along the way!

Environment Agency Fishing Lists!

I was searching for a list on fisheries, although there are many suggestions on both Maggotdrowners.com and YorkshireFishing.com I wanted something tangible that I could print off and have look over. A few simple searches later and I had found a fairly comprehensive list (region based) of fisheries throughout the UK courtesy of the Environment Agency! Despite them being slightly out of date they are definitely worth looking at if you’re sitting on your PC (there is a downloading element so might be unwise on a mobile device, roughly 5 – 6mb each).

Here are the links;

Hope you find them useful!!!
