Perfect timing for anglers after rivers close until June.
OUR stillwaters are hitting their finest form of 2017, so there’s no better time to get out there, fill your net or bag a personal best.
With rivers out of bounds from midnight on March 14 until midnight on June 15, action hungry anglers will be descending on an incredible choice of UK stillwaters and many of the most popular venues have come into form just at the right time.
Early spring water temperatures might only just be beginning to rise, but pleasure and match anglers alike have regularly been cracking the 200lb barrier.
Worcestershire’s Larford Lakes was one of the first to recover from a harsh winter, with daily nets of carp, F1s and silverfish.
