Fishing Experiences

Information about Fishing Experiences across the UK

Tempted by the chance of spending some well needed time in the great outdoors, whilst whittling away the hours by a gentle river or somewhere along the coast catching fish? If it sounds idyllic, that’s because it is. There are not many chances to leave the amenities of the modern world behind today, but getting yourself booked in on a Fishing Experience in the UK is an assured way to do just that.

Here at Experiences UK, we are offering a range of different types of fishing for you to choose from. If you’re new to this world, they can be roughly broken down into the following:

1. Fly Fishing - a type of angling that uses a rod called a ‘fly,’ to catch fish. Slightly different from traditional fishing in the way the fly is cast and how it mimics natural food sources, it relies on using the weight of the line to cast. Most commonly used to catch trout, salmon, and bass.
2. River Fishing - Freshwater fishing that takes place along a moving river - the movement plays a key role in what and how fish are found. Common techniques include using bait, fly or spin fishing and you can expect to find trout, bass, catfish, pike, walleye, perch, and carp.
3. Sea Fishing -  Using the sea as the target, this type of fishing can be done from the shore, a boat or deep sea expeditions. Catches can be made using a variety of techniques such as surfcasting, bottom fishing or chumming. You will be likely to find sea bass, flounder, mackerel, tuna and swordfish.

What are the Benefits of Fishing?

Not only is fishing a chance to get some physical exercise in and socialise with a group of like minded people, but an opportunity to escape from the same four walls you spend most of the week in and get outside in nature. Whether you have a river, lake or the sea as your backdrop, often fishing spots can be found in the most idyllic of places. Focusing on the technique as you wait by the water for your catch is a relaxing experience that forces you to focus on the present.

If you find yourself feeling bogged down by the stresses of life - trying out a Fishing Experience is bound to leave you feeling relaxed, de-stressed and more appreciative of nature. It’s not all about the catch, of course, but there is something uniquely rewarding about finding fish after spending some patient time waiting.
