The 'Where to Fish' directory - one of the stalwarts of UK angling history The 'Where to Fish' directory - one of the stalwarts of UK angling history

The UK anglers 'bible', Where to Fish - The Angling Directory, has found a new home with us at Fish and Fly Ltd where we will continue to publish and bring it onto the internet for its next edition.

Online publisher Fish and Fly Ltd are delighted to announce the acquisition of the publishing rights to the legendary Where to Fish - The Angling Directory from Tom Harmsworth Publishing.

Where to Fish was first published in the late 1800’s and is the fishing equivalent of  Crockford’s Clerical Directory or Wisden’s Cricketers’ Almanac and is a reference book well known to fishers and libraries everywhere across the country.

Richard Hewitt the Executive Chairman of Fish and Fly Ltd stated “This title fits in very well with our strategy to be the number one resource for fishers and whilst the book will remain very important we are excited to be able to  launch a complementary and intuitive website very soon at  www.wheretofish.co.uk.

This fits in very well with our new Atlas domains and these bring to life the Directory style of sites that can become a little boring and difficult to maintain. See www.salmonatlas.com  and www.carpatlas.com for sample sites.”

Lord Harmsworth owner of Tom Harmsworth Publishing added “Where to Fish is the only successful angling directory, national or international, comprehensively serving the sport. It is the Angler’s Bible. As publisher of the directory since 1982 I am delighted that Where to Fish in passing to Fish & Fly will be in excellent hands.”

Congratulations, Richard, Paul et al - you'll be engaging in a real labour of love to bring the massive amount of constantly-updating detail in this historic title into the digital age. But I've no doubt that if anyone can do it, the Fish&Fly team can! Theo
