Fishing Information: Fishing Events Advice and Articles
The Fishing articles below provide information and contact details for Angling Associations, Charities and Angling bodies
Not all are specific to Game, Coarse or Sea Fishing. All the clubs and associations cover our South West region - an area which includes Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire and a small part of Hampshire.
