Talking Tackle: Get Out, Get Fishing in the Summer Holidays

The summer holidays are coming up which means it’s time to entertain the kids. And what better way than to get them outside?

With our recent campaign Get Out Get Fishing, along with Shakespeare, we’re encouraging kids to get off their phones, put down their iPads and get outside. You can read more about the campaign and see the video here.

Where can we go Fishing in the Summer Holidays?

Finding the perfect spot can be in a job in itself. Lucky for you, the summer holidays falls just after river season is open.

What does this mean? Close season is a time of year where anglers aren’t allowed to fish in rivers – a sad time for them all. But on the 16th of June, they open again for fishing, meaning in the summer holidays, you won’t need to avoid them.

If you’re struggling to find somewhere, check out our river guide here, or our fishing friendly campsites guide here.

The QR codes on each of our promotional packs also leads customers to local fisheries. They even offer taster sessions with professionals that can help you get started, or answer any questions you might have about this ever growing sport!
