Many of us are unable to dedicate our main holiday each year to fishing, that’s why we are constantly looking for great locations for angling short holidays throughout the UK and Ireland. Whether you can spare a few days during the week or perhaps a long weekend, we are sure to be able to find the ideal venue for a relaxing few days by the water. Whilst on a fishing short break you may be lucky enough to land a fish even larger than your wildest fishing dreams.

Our holidays are based in hotels with excellent leisure facilities, many of which also offer spa and beauty treatments, so your partners needn’t feel left out; bring them along to share in the thrills of your angling trip and all the tales of the ones that got away!

Carp Fishing in Central England – Drayton Reservoir

In winter, the pike fishing is excellent, with fish to nearly 30lbs recorded.
