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I'm a fisherman myself, and finding somewhere new to fish in the UK usually meant scattered forum threads, out-of-date club websites, and a fair bit of guesswork about what you'd actually catch.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 to help anglers and families explore the UK's waters, with simple navigation and detail worth trusting.
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.
