Angling...

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet. 



I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local angler [or someone who is a frequent visiting fisherman] for every one of the geographical pages on Fatfisherman.com.

The many thousands of anglers now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the area from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time or overseas visitors usually visit or that are well known outside of the area. 



Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that anglers can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this] so it could bring you extra business if you own a local fishery or tackleshop, charter boat or magazine etc. 



Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

Its sister site, Fatbirder.com is regularly used by hundreds of thousands of birdwatchers when planning overseas trips or birding closer to home. That site gets four million hits a month and has a high Google rating because it is an information resource that is both comprehensive and trusted.

Help me make Fatfisherman.com the first point of reference for anyone who wants to go fishing anywhere in the world!

Great Welsh River Locations

http://flyfishing-directory.co.uk/WelshRivers.aspx
Wales has some great lakes and rivers enclosed in some breathtaking scenery, with excellent game fishing on offer. Like Scotland it has some beautiful and peaceful surroundings, probably the most difficult choice you have to make is where to fish. Wales consistently produces some great fishing, with an abundance of wild Brown Trout, Sea Trout and Grayling giving the fly fisherman some challenging sport. From the well known famous rivers to the small brooks, or the numerous lakes to the serenity some of the reservoirs offer, Wales surely is a special game fishing location...
