Before you reach out
Avon Angling fishes the Warwickshire Avon and the Severn, and the UK government's freshwater rod fishing rules close rivers in England and Wales to coarse fishing from 15 March to 15 June. Lakes, ponds and most canals stay open, so Nic, who runs the channel, fishes for tench and carp in those months. If you sell river tackle such as barbel feeders or trotting floats, get it to Nic in time to film before mid-March, or plan the video for after 15 June.
