Angling Trust’s ‘Fishing In Wales’ website now live!
The new Fishing in Wales website is here – featuring everything you need to know about Welsh angling.
When, where and what to fish for – we have it covered!
A comprehensive Welsh angling resource for visitors and locals alike.
Working in collaboration with angling clubs, Welsh anglers, writers and influencers, the website includes key information on where, how and when to fish in Wales, for all angling disciplines.
Literally, every place to fish in Wales has been covered, with over 1,000 fishing locations for sea, game and coarse fishers. The website uses intuitive interactive maps, allowing you to find fishing and angling facilities in Wales quickly and easily!
You will also find information on where to stay at Visit Wales graded accommodation near or at fishing locations, where to purchase fishing tackle from local shops and where to hire a fishing guide or a charter boat skipper.
Additionally, the website will be regularly updated with quality written ‘blog’ articles from a wide variety of established and respected angling writers. The blog will also feature regular promotional videos that will showcase and inspire, created by Welsh angling film maker Rob Hughes.
Writing for the website
A collective of 18 contributors will be writing for the site and taking part in the videos, many of whom have an established pedigree within the angling world, including Steffan Jones, George Barron, Adam Fisher, Hywel Morgan and Dave Lewis – to name just a few.
Fishing In Wales videos and written blog articles will be posted and shared regularly – so make sure you don’t miss out by ‘liking’ the Fishing In Wales Facebook page, subscribing to the YouTube Channel, or visiting the website and signing up – so you can be notified of the latest content each month!
But that’s not all… The site also features important information on fishing seasons and regulations, comprehensive beginners guides, information on Welsh fish species, how to get to Wales, places for disabled anglers to fish and the ability to book fishing online with the Wye and Usk Foundation’s Fishing Passport scheme!
Fishing in Wales really is your one stop shop for Welsh angling – check it out here: www.fishingwales.net.
