A letter from Joy at Angling Travel

We hope all is well with you. We are celebrating ten successful years at Angling Travel : ten years of providing you with some of the world’s most extraordinary fishing, ten years of discovery, ten years of friendship, ten years of adventure, ten years of being awed by the gift that fishing, fish and the natural world is ... every time we find time for it.

We really want to send a heartfelt thanks to all those who have continued to support us this year and all those who have told us that they will be back soon! And we also send many warm wishes to you all for a peaceful, happy Christmas.

Would You Enjoy An Angling Travel Fishing Trip?
Do you love fish and fishing?
Do you enjoy meeting likeminded people?
Are you a thinking, independent fisherman looking for that extra dimension to your fishing?
Do you have a desire to learn more about fishing techniques, rivers, fish, the people that become your hosts, yourself?
Do you have a respect, a love for the natural world?
Do you need an angling travel company that can answer all your questions and fulfil all your requirements?
Do you enjoy, or dream of, spending time in the most beautiful, untouched places this country and the world has to offer?

Also please note that our weekend courses and private tuition are particularly popular Christmas and birthday presents and are great for fishing (or nonfishing!) partners. And if you are feeling really generous and abundant, then one of our overseas angling adventures would be a wonderful surprise for someone this year! We provide a presentation voucher for you to wrap and give. We're used to handling group and individual bookings, travelling with John or without. Everyone seems to find life these days more and more crazy and you'll know, as regular customers, that there are few better ways than our group trips to get back in touch with a sense of the goodness in life and the beauty and peace of being in unspoilt nature. Add to this the fun, companionship, adventure, freedom and the excitement of the fishing, and it's pretty obvious that these trips can be the best investment you can make for improving the quality and effectiveness of your day to day life. John also says how much our clients talk about your love for your partners and families on these trips, how much these trips enhance the quality of your family lives.

Email or call 01452 813241 or 07866 470238 if you want to feed your soul by joining us on any of our fishing expeditions and courses, or if you'd like more information or just to talk things over with John.

Remember, our trips are offering the best fishing in the world, hand-picked and often led by that passionate fisherman traveller and author John Bailey. We give you total advice and support so that you can just relax and enjoy your precious break in the wilderness.

Please note that this year's newsletter booking form can be used for your bookings or you can download a form from the website at www.angling-travel.com - early booking is advised for most trips and courses as numbers are limited and we get a lot of repeat business! Just post the booking form to Angling Travel with your 10% deposit payable to Angling Travel Trust Account to reserve your place.

P.S Some of our trips make the perfect gift for family or friends. We can help you choose the best option, and can always arrange for your recipient to change the date and venue of your booking if you or they so wish.
