England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all fantastically beautiful places in their own right, and all provide some of the best fishing locations certainly in Europe and, possibly, the world. For seasoned professionals, angling is more about the experience than the size of your catch. Anyone can rent a boat and go out into the Pacific Ocean to catch marlin and other 'game' fish, but the most rewarding experience can be had in the most difficult circumstances and locations, and this is why the U.K. is a haven for professional anglers.
If it is beach fishing you are after, Cornwall in the south east of England has some great spots. Places like the Bude Breakwater, Perranporth, Holywell bay and Crantock all have some fantastic coastlines and are great spots to catch fish such as flatfish, mackerel, dogfish and skate. In Wales, some great areas for shore fishing include Barmouth, Borth-y-Guest, Fairbourne and Criccieth. Some of the best locations in these areas can be difficult to spot, so have a search on the internet for directions.
Commonly regarded as the most difficult type of angling to master, fly fishing requires great skill and good knowledge of flies and locations in order to do well. If you are considering giving it a go, your best bet is to contact a guide to help you on your technique and choosing a good spot. If you want to go it alone, some highly recommended places are the River Tweed and its tributaries in Scotland, and the River Eden and the River Earmont situated in the stunning Lake District.
One of the most popular forms of fishing in the U.K., mainly due to its accessibility, is stillwater or lake fishing. There are so many lakes and lochs around the U.K. that offer great fishing it is difficult to recommend just one or two. If you are interested in this type of fishing and are considering a short fishing break, it is probably best to decide on the location first, and then have a look for some popular spots on the internet. Aberdeenshire in Scotland has some great lochs and fisheries packed with brown and rainbow trout, and one of the lesser known but no less beautiful locations to try out is Lake Menteith, near Stirling in Scotland.
The geography and climate of the United Kingdom has meant that fishing has always been a part of British culture. There are so many different places to try in some astoundingly beautiful areas, choosing a place to go next is a difficult job! With Snowdonia National Park, the Lake District, Loch Lomand and the Trossachs National Park, there is something for every angler at every level, just do not forget to take an umbrella with you wherever you go!
