Wild Fishing: Britain's 700 most spectacular, secluded and affordable places for native angling (travel guide)

Redefining

the angling experience by focusing on the beauty of remote, natural

environments and native fish species, this new guide moves away from

commercial fisheries and overstocked ponds to introduce the reader to wild

fishing. Those who are keen to follow this more sustainable, eco-conscious

and affordable approach will find the book packed with detailed information

on accessing hundreds of magnificent wild fishing spots across the UK, many

of them free or only requiring low-cost permits. rom tranquil rivers to wild,

rugged coastlines, the guide highlights the joys of such hidden gems as the

River Wandle, in London, where anglers can cast their lines in the same

waters once fished by Admiral Nelson, along with Chesil Beach, in Dorset,

where deep waters can be reached just metres from shore, and the River Test,

in Winchester, where anglers can fish for free along one of England’s most

famous chalk streams. In Wales, the mystical Llyn Ogwen, in Snowdonia, offers

wild brown trout and a backdrop steeped in Arthurian legend while other

remote sites include Loch Maree, in Wester Ross, where sea trout can be

fished against the looming drama of Slioch, a Munro. For those seeking a

coastal adventure, Pembrokeshire’s wild shores provide a unique opportunity

to fish from the cliffs of Ceibwr Bay. Here, anglers might spot porpoises

while waiting for sea trout to bite. Further south, the rugged beauty of

Cornwall’s coastline offers thrilling night fishing, casting for bass under

the stars. An invitation to reconnect with nature as much as it is a guide to

landing the catch, whether you dream of hiking through remote mountain

valleys, fishing from the edge of a secluded lake, or casting a line into

deep coastal waters, this guide offers an unparalleled introduction to

Britain’s 700 most spectacular, lesser-known and wildest fishing

locations.
