Guide to Coarse Fishing
Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner to the hobby, there is always more to learn. There is sure to be some helpful information on this website that will help you to improve your course fishing.
Course or Coarse fishing is a type of freshwater fishing with the aim of catching target species such as Carp, Bream, Tench, Roach, Rudd, etc. The coarse fishing close season is 15th March to 15th June inclusive and applies to all rivers, streams and drains in England and Wales, but does not apply to most stillwaters.
Coarse fishing can be generally divided into three subgroups:
Pleasure Fishing
Sit back, relax and enjoy your surrounding. Pleasure fishing is all about the enjoyment. Have fun while catching anything you can.
Specimen Hunting
Specimen anglers are after the big ones. A specific species or even individual fish is targeted with the aim of catching a larger then average fish.
Competition Angling
Anglers (usually members of fishing clubs) will gather together and compete in matches to see who can catch the largest total weight of fish in a specified period of time.
