Attention all fishermen
In the lead up to National Fishing Week, an online interactive guide to fisheries was launched by the Environment Agency and British Waterways, in a bid to reel in more anglers.
Comprising around 4,000 angling sites on rivers, canals, lakes and ponds across England, the guide can be found on www.waterscape.com/fishing
It?s the first to provide anglers with a wealth of information on nearby fisheries by simply typing in a postcode or nearby town.
The information available, collected by the Environment Agency, includes:
? fishery location, including a map,
? the type of water: river, still water or canal,
? type of fishery: coarse or game,
? the main fish species present,
? where to get a permit to fish,
? details of other facilities such as parking and tuition.
