Romantic Fishing Trips – A Valentines Location Guide

It doesn’t have to be the movies, a candlelight dinner, or a gig at a concert hall: in the true spirit of February and Valentine’s Day, romance can be embedded into a fishing trip. Lakes, streams, rivers. The U.K. offer a plethora of beautiful, romantic settings for fishing. Even the canal banks of rundown former industrial centres have a beauty brought about nature’s reclamation of spots no longer hives of commerce and transport.

The real beauty of these countries is really associated, however, with the varied waters of the classic U.K. bucolic paradise. The U.K.’s rivers aren’t as long and its lakes are not as big as some fishing venues across the pond, but its coastline is vast.

The Perfect Angling Date: Great Days Out for Fishing

For sea fishing with romantic views and rich waters, Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland is a large expanse of water that produce good fishing!

The waterways of Norfolk or any of England’s many miles of canals provide great angling opportunities for Pike, Roach, Barbel, Chub and others.

See more on fishing the Norfolk Broads, here. You can also pop into AD Wroxham (local to the broads) for all your fishing needs.

Looking for salmon and trout fishing? The rivers of rugged, windswept Dartmoor provide plenty of fly fishing for the avid angler and their partner whilst displaying amazing picturesque views.

Dinner with a View this Valentines Day

For those looking for something wilder — reasonable comfort on the bank of the water — camping provision can be a great option! For decades, fishing tackle providers have included portable homes. As well as large umbrellas with sides to make a kind of hut to house anglers. There are also more expansive types of portable accommodation. The determined angler can buy specialist tents, fishing bivvies that offer plentiful room for a romantic stay at the bankside with your loved on.

There is also fishing tackle that includes cooking utensils, all with the ability to cook a meal at the bankside that an angling couple is bound to enjoy! Since the breath-taking scenery of an outdoor dinner will be hard to match, cooking during a day of fishing can easily rival a restaurant experience with table cloth and candles.

See all bivvies and cookware available at Angling Direct.

For angling couples who wish to fish day and night this valentine, with the butts of their carp rods pointing silently from tent or brolly towards black waters, waiting for the run, the fishing swim can be a place of relative comfort.
