Southern Angler, a new specialist magazine for anglers in the south of England, have exclusively revealed plans for a 250-peg match water in the South of England. The groundbreaking venue is set to be built on the Hampshire / Surrey border by the south’s biggest fishery owners, RMC Angling.
The canal-like design will be a uniform 13 metres across with a series of pumps that will allow the water to flow around the lake. “RMC Angling is keen to develop first class facilities for all anglers and we are particularly delighted to be able to create our first purpose-built fishery for competition events,” RMC Fishery Chief Ian Welch exclusively told Southern Angler. The excavation of the lake has started already, and is currently in the first stages of its development. If all goes well, it is expected to be open for angling in the middle part of 2006. Also revealed in the first issue of Southern Angler is the tragic story of one of the south’s most outspoken anglers of the 70’s and 80’s, Ray Mumford. Ray, who was one of the first people to master continental pole tactics and groundbait mixes, now no longer remembers ever being able to fish. Southern Angler also promises no holds barred product reviews and an instructional specialist series under the banner ‘Anything But Carp’ written by Ian Welch. Simon Gould will be pulling no punches with his ‘Telling It As It Is’, a form guide and news section from the area’s fisheries and rivers. Read these stories and more in the first issue of Southern Angler, priced at just £ 1.99. Available in all good newsagents on the third Wednesday of eachmonth. FISHINGmagic Note Southern Angler’s sister publication Midland Angler was launched in 2001 and has achieved a circulation figure of 12,000 copies a month in just under three years. Due to its success DHP decided to launch Southern Angler to cater for fishermen in the south of England. |
