AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
THE END OF AN ERA?
It’s been over 15 years since I first created Matchangler.com, which I’ve mainly driven from behind the scenes, dealing with all the technical aspects that the site has thrown up.

I am finding it harder to maintain the site to the standard I set in those prime years, when features flowed easily. I have also not been able to move the site forward with the times and whilst the site has made me relatively web savvy, for which I am eternally grateful, I have not found the time to adapt into this new age of social media, which is so vital for today’s mass technical communicators.

64th World Angling Championships
Brussels–Charleroi Canal, Ronquières, Belgium
It’s sometimes difficult to know where to start one of these features on MA.com, but bearing in mind the time since the last international was covered, I’m happy to say this visit was immense, entirely rewarding and long overdue as the fishing proved fascinating and absorbing... READ MORE

It's Margin-al
Perhaps one of the most obvious changes to match angling over the past few years has been the rise in margin fishing. Even those fisheries without an abundance of carp are now having their margins plundered for all sorts of species… tench, bream, crucians, barbel, perch, plus the odd carp or two!... READ MORE
