Reasons

What to write about

  • A page that doesn't match how fishing works where you fish — name the page and describe what you see instead.
  • A species, technique or water type we haven't covered yet, and why it's worth writing up.
  • A tackle question a guide left unanswered, or a step that could be clearer.
  • A guide your club, charter or conservation group would like written for beginners.
  • A photo credit, caption or licensing detail that needs correcting.
Corrections

What happens with a correction

Nothing changes on a page until it's been checked against established practice — a single report is a good reason to look, not an automatic edit. Where practice genuinely differs between regions, the fix is usually to describe the range rather than swap one answer for another, and pages already say so where it applies.

Local rules stay yours to confirm
Seasons, size limits, bait and hook rules are never stated as fact here. If you spot a page that reads as though it does, say so — that's a fault in the wording, and it gets fixed.
Partnerships

For clubs, guides and conservation groups

Angling clubs, charter skippers, fisheries and conservation groups can ask for a page their members or clients actually need — a species new to the area, a water type nobody explains, a rig that trips people up. Guides are written brand-free, stay free to read, and carry no product recommendations, so they're safe to link from your own pages and hand to newcomers.

  • A written-up guide for the fish or water your members ask about most.
  • An explanation of a rig or technique you teach, in words a beginner can follow.
  • A brand-free resource you can link to from membership notes, briefings or booking pages.
  • A check on photography credits and licensing for an image you'd like to use.
Press

For writers and broadcasters

This site names no brands, ranks no products and quotes no marketing figures — which makes it a usable explainer in a piece about tackle. Get in touch for a plain account of how a piece of kit works, or for context on the practice that differs between anglers and regions.

  • Plain explanations of rod, reel, line, hook and rig mechanics.
  • Why anglers choose differently — tackle that suits one water suits another badly.
  • Image credits and licensing for the photographs used on this site.
Policy

The rules behind the answers

Before you write with something urgent, the editorial rules on how this site is written explain where the guidance comes from, how shop links are marked, and what the site deliberately leaves out.
