Fishing in Bournemouth, United Kingdom
Salt-water fly-fishing has seen explosive growth in the UK over the past few years – with bass as the prime target. These fish, lovers of crashing swell and rough, rocky, remote parts of the sea-shore, are fierce predators which take fly, lures and bait with equal enthusiasm. They used to be to mainly an English Channel quarry, but with the warming of the sea have spread up to Scotland. The Bass Anglers Sportfishing Society website - www.ukbass.com – is a good place to start searching for the best places. |

Fishing in Sheffield, United Kingdom
These both used to be fabulous salmon rivers, and consequently hard to get access too. The salmon are now fewer and further between than they used to be, and much more focus – particularly on the Wye – is on the fishing for trout, grayling and coarse fish like chub and barbel. The Wye and Usk Foundation has set up a website - www.wyeuskfoundation.org – which gives access to some great stretches, as well as advice on where to stay, finding a guide and so on. They are beautiful rivers in a beautiful part of the land. |

Fishing in East Coast, Ireland
Ireland has some superb dry-fly fishing for trout, and some of the best of it is to be found an hour or so’s drive from Dublin, in the green fields of County Meath. Rivers such as the Boyne, the Deel, the Enfield Blackwaterand the Stoneyford offer fishing that is challenging, rewarding and remarkably cheap. The ideal month is June, but sport can be good all the way through the summer – particularly on fine evenings, where hatches of sedge and Blue Winged Olive are often sensational. |

Fishing in East Coast, Ireland
The Suir is simply one of the great trout rivers of the world. It flows more than 100 miles south from the Devil’s Bit Mountain in County Tipperary into the sea at Waterford. It has a phenomenal head of trout and still boasts marvellous hatches of fly. A great deal of it is open to visitors through day tickets – one of the best places to stay and explore is Cahir. Again, it fishes all summer long, and the evening fishing can be superb. |

Fishing in Scotland, United Kingdom
A big place and a big subject. The main point is that there are literally thousands of lochs spread from the south to Orkney and Shetland, most of which have trout in them, some of which have good trout in them, and almost of which can be fished by the visitor. The best policy is to choose which part of Scotland you wish to see, and then work out which lochs to fish. There is also some superb river fishing available on the Tweed, the Don, the Tay and other rivers best known for salmon. |
