Fishing Holidays

Do your research...

When planning your UK fishing holiday, you may want to think about what type of fish you'd like to catch beforehand, and therefore the best locations to find them. From trout fishing in the Scottish Highlands to salmon fishing in the rivers of Wales, the UK offers a diverse range of angling opportunities. Researching fishing seasons and permits in advance will ensure you choose the right time and place for your desired catch, as there are often different rules depending on the time of year and location. If you're just interested in pleasure fishing and not too worried about what you catch (you'd just like to catch something!) then booking one of our caravan, lodge or log cabin holidays with fishing lakes onsite is a great option. This is especially true for family fishing holidays, as you can then make the most of other onsite facilities like swimming pools, playgrounds and restaurants. A great way to keep the whole family happy!

Get your permits...

Before booking your UK fishing holiday, be sure to familiarise yourself with the local rules and regulations. In England and Wales, you'll need a special rod licence, while Scotland requires fishing permits issued by local fisheries. You can often get these online or from local authorities, but make sure you double check before your trip so there are no nasty surprises. Even if you're staying somewhere with a private fishing lake, like many of our holiday parks have, you'll still need a permit or rod licence. If you're planning a family fishing holiday, don't forget to check the rules for children too. Get all this sorted as soon as you book, then you can relax and enjoy your fishing holiday with complete peace of mind!

Join a tour...

For many, the joy of a fishing holiday is relaxing in total solitude, with just the sounds of nature for company. Of course, if you're new to fishing or travelling alone, joining a group or charter can be a great opportunity to meet like-minded enthusiasts and learn from experienced anglers. Guided fishing tours are a fantastic way to enhance your fishing break, with expert guidance and local knowledge ensuring you have a successful time on the water. Such tours often include transportation, professional assistance and access to prime fishing spots. Research various tour providers, their itineraries and customer reviews before making your bookings. After an exciting day out, head home to your self-catering lodge and cook up some freshly-caught fish on the barbecue or enjoy a leisurely stroll from your coastal cottage to dine on delicious seafood by the beach.
