Fishing gear can mean so many things to different people depending very much on the types of the fishing that is being pursued. Each style of fishing has so many disciplines that one could choose; we're not even going to try to document and list everything on this site, however over time we will evolve and develop this site into a very comprehensive resource so please bookmark us now and stay in touch.

 

The basis of all types of fishing is catching a fish in it's natural environment using a rod and line. You may consider commercial fishing as a style of fishing but for our proposes we're talking about the pursuit of fishing using some form of rod and line.

 

Over years the styles of fishing have developed to both suit different peoples tastes but also to suit the different types of fish in our waters. so you have very sedentary style carp fishing where an angler can site for days in pursuit of the largest fishing in the lake and casting may only be done every 6 to 12 hours compared to fly fishing where the angler is much more active and seeks out more fish casting every 30 seconds or so.

 

As techniques have been evolved we now have cross discipline fishing taking hold where there are now pike fishing fly rods much heavier than the originals and casting much heavier lures but a great example of how people developed their own ideas and catch more fish doing so.

We are guided mostly by the type of water around the areas we live dictating the type of fishing we can pursue but that said with some careful planning and of course transport you should be able to pursue your chosen quarry within a few hours drive of your home.

 

Some anglers enjoy their local rivers and lakes and sea shoes seizing the opportunity to go on holiday an catch even bigger specimen fish, this can be easy to arrange if your on a family holiday seek out a local water and bring some gear with you, fishing time may be shorter than your usual sessions but you'll be surprised at what can be caught in a balmy summer afternoon on a small French road side pond.

 

A word of caution about the local police and regulations check these out before you travel to make sure you know the rules and avoid having your gear confiscated.

 

Who knows you may catch the fish of your dreams
