Why Fishing Spots exists
I'm a fisherman myself, and finding somewhere new to fish in the UK usually meant scattered forum threads, out-of-date club websites, and a fair bit of guesswork about what you'd actually catch. Fishing Spots is the tool I wanted: one free map of real UK fishing spots, what's in the water, and how to get access — built and kept up to date by anglers, for anglers.
Start with the map to find somewhere near you, browse the full list, or add a spot you know that isn't on here yet. It's completely free, and always will be.
Not sure what you've caught? Upload a photo and we'll help you identify it. Need to check your rod licence or brush up on species ID first? Head to Resources.
