Introduction to Coarse Fishing

I've been coarse fishing for over thirty years and have enjoyed every mintue of it!  My fishing blog is normally around my match results, but felt this post is maybe needed to new comers to the sport.

Commercials aren't all about Carp.  Alvechurch has a massive range of species.

This post gives information on what essentials you will need to start coarse fishing.
7 tips.


1. Licence

You must have a rod licence, which is issued by Environment Agency.  This can run annually from when you purchased the licence.  You are able to pay for daily too.

2. Day tickets or joining clubs.


Most waters issue day tickets whereby you rent the peg/swim for the day, however some waters are membership only, (angling clubs).   These clubs normally have an annual membership fee.  Joining clubs is normally a great way to meet people and learn things off local anglers.

A lot of waters do have rules, so please ensure you read them.

3. Close season


The "close season" is where your unable to fish from the 15th Match to 15th June.  This is enforced on all rivers and a few stillwaters.  The majority of stillwaters and canals are still open to fish.


All day ticket waters and clubs do operate a catch and release scheme in the UK, that I know of.  So you shouldn't be taking fish away.  If you have a "Game / trout" licence, catching trout or salmon then this is different.
