Firstly there's the issue of where to go. There are very few 'free' waters these days. There are, however, plenty of excellent angling clubs and privately owned river and stillwater fisheries which offer reasonably priced day ticket fishing...
By law you will need an Environment Agency rod licence wherever you decide to fish ...
Safety is of course an issue if you intend to go on your own so it would be best to seek advice from your local tackle shop or angling club ...
You will find that when a water bailiff collects money that he/she will offer advice on the best methods or the pegs that are producing fish...
There is an abundance of fishing tackle on the market today and it can be overwhelming ...

It was with some encouragement from Sarah that I decided to return to coarse angling after a break of some 25 years. What had sparked this renewed enthusiasm was partly the fact that Sarah said that she had enjoyed fishing in the past and that after taking over Cats and Dogs Netbuster Baits I wanted to evaluate the products before we released them. My return to fishing and that of the match scene was to be more difficult than I expected, time had moved on and the advances in techniques and equipment made me shudder to a stop.

The Cats and Dogs Ultra Moist Hooker is a ready-to-use pellet that requires no pumping or preparation and can be used straight from the tub. They now come in nine flavours and can be used for pole, waggler or feeder fishing. The size available in the range is 6mm and are great for hair-rigging or side-hooking when Method feeder fishing.

A revolution in modern fishmeal aquapastes. These aquapastes have been re-designed with John Holvey for catching F1's and commercial carp. It has also proven to be very successful with tench too.
Since its release it has been the past chosen by many top anglers and proved devastating in many matches at many different venues, Lindholme Lakes, Tyram Lakes, Woodhouse Grange to name but a few.
