I’ve been a keen angler for over 30 years ; I would class myself as an all-rounder but spend the majority of my angling time, mainly coarse fishing. I have competed in a few matches over the years but mainly pleasure fish now whether I’m on a local canal pole fishing for roach, on a pond fishing match style for a net of fish, or on the rivers feeder fishing for barbel and chub. Or searching for specimen carp on larger lakes home and abroad. So whatever you fancy a go at I can tailor a session to suit you or someone you may know who wants to get in to fishing, and provide all the tackle and bait that will be needed. I’m never happier than when I’m on the bank and want as many people to experience the joys of angling. So feel free to contact me ; either drop me an email at kev.hollick@hotmail.co.uk or a call or text at 07717363839 and I will get back to you to discuss your request.

Angling is a true passion of mine and it has been my obsession for more than 20 years. The primitive thrill of the chase, tracking and stalking using watercraft and knowledge of the species is a level of enjoyment only surpassed when you've landed and returned your quarry for it to fight another day. Whether you're trotting for Grayling, searching for Pike in miles of canal networks or stalking seldom seen Carp in hundred acre Cheshire meres, angling will have an avenue to suit you. I'm an all round angler and can offer help with any style of coarse fishing on any body type of water. If you're new to angling, looking to hone your skills or wanting to come back to it after a break, sessions can be arranged to suit your requirements.
