Promoting great places to fish in the North West.

We fish many venues from clubs, fisheries, canals, rivers and lakes. We are no experts, but we know our passion of this sport is shared by many, and we hope this site will help others. We will be posting reviews of the venues we fish including what peg, tactic, method and bait used. We will include links to fishery websites, address and phone numbers of the venues we visit. If you would like us to visit your fishery or club waters, or if you would like a day on the bank with us please send us ad email. If you see us on the bank pop over for a chat, and if you want to know where is fishing well, as Carl says from the team "Always follow the green hoodies"

Angler Testimonials.
   

Working for the Angling Times news desk entails tapping into every resource possible to uncover the best stories and fisheries around and in my experience, they don’t come much better than Fishing in the North West.

Their dedication to uncovering the best and my most in-form venues in the area is second-to-none and their willingness to share their winning tactics deserves credit.

Angling Times has started working with the team on a regular basis and we intend to continue this relationship to strengthen both brands for the future.

This is to thank you again for the two days we spent together on the Severn near Shrewsbury last week. Although the barbel weren't biting I did learn a tremendous amount about barbel techniques from you.I leaned about the rigs, the bait, the correct casting, the feeding and all aspects of river fishing. I would also like to thank you for giving up so much of your time and wisdom on the river environment. The second day was very interesting and I leaned about the technique of trotting which I will definitely be doing.This was a nice way of fishing which will take some practice but well worth it. And last of all thank you for your company.
