Therefore, is it any wonder that holiday parks close to rivers and lakes are a popular choice for carp fishing holidays? And they're growing in popularity across all ages, with couples and families looking for holiday breaks or an adults only fishing holiday.

Whether you're seasoned at carp fishing or this is your very first fishing holiday, you don’t need much equipment to get stated. While some experts spend hundreds of pounds on fancy rods and reels a basic set-up can be purchased for around £30-£50 and should include:

  • Rod,
    A good fishing rod is the most important part of a fisherman’s tackle. Those just starting out in the sport should buy what’s called a ‘through action float rod’ Find a great guide to choosing a fishing rod.
  • Reel,
    A popular reel used in coarse fishing is the fixed-spool reel; prices for a decent one start around £20 but they can sometimes be found in starter kits.
  • Line
    The most commonly used sort of line is; monofilament, it is buoyant and can stretch. Lines come in different colours and thickness and cost anything from a couple of quid upwards for a spool.
  • Floats
    The price of a float is between 50p and a couple of pounds with the Waggler float commonly used for fishing in lakes.
  • Hooks
    You need to match the hook to what bait you are using as well as the size of fish you are hoping to catch, beginners should start with hooks from size 10-16.
  • Disgorger
    These are used to remove the hook from the fish’s mouth and can be bought for less than £1 at any tackle shop.
  • Weights
    In the old days these were made of lead and while it is still legal for lead weights to be used if they are between a size 8 and 14 be very careful, especially if you have bought second-hand fishing gear, as fishing with illegal weights can result in a hefty fine of up to £5,000. Therefore, it is advisable to use an alternative such as Tungsten or nickel weights.
  • Landing pole and net
    This is an essential piece of kit for carp fishing holidays as you don’t want to catch the proverbial big one and not being able to land it. There are 2 important considerations when choosing a landing net.
    1. Is the net constructed of a safe material, which will not damage the fish?
    2. Is the handle strong enough?

Once you have your tackle you can start searching for holidays with fishing onsite. The destinations above all have an excellent selection of well-stocked lakes and rivers, where guests can fish for carp, perch, trout and salmon, some areas such as Cornwall and Dumfries are also ideal for those who want to try sea-fishing over a fishing lake.

Some sites offer carp fishing with accommodation free while offers provide a prime spot for a small charge which can be anything from £5-£15 per day. (check before booking) Wherever you cast off you will need a fishing licence.

Fishing Regulations (what you need to know on your fishing holiday)

Every area of the UK has their own by-laws concerning fishing which protect stocks and encourage sustainable fisheries, it is essential to check these out as breaking these regulations can result in fines up to £50,000, that’s one expensive holiday!

Fishing Licence

You will need a licence to fish for trout, eel, salmon, smelt and freshwater fish in:

  • Wales
  • Border Esk region
  • England (except the River Tweed)

It is important you carry the licence with you whenever you are fishing, or you may be prosecuted, which can result in a fine of £2,500

The licence can be obtained from the Environment Agency online here, by calling 0344 800 5386 or in person at your local post office, some holiday parks which offer fishing can arrange licences for you but that would be something you need to confirm at the time of booking.

Other important by-laws include:

  • Areas in certain regions where fishing is not allowed. Stick to fishing lakes if you're unsure
  • Closed seasons (when you can’t fish) This is particularly important for coarse fishing
  • The sort of tackle you are allowed to use for different fish in your region
  • Size and weight of fish you are allowed to keep

These laws vary so it is essential to check out the ones specific to the area you will be fishing in. It's really important to know when the closed season for coarse fishing is, and some privately-owned lakes have their own rules which must also be adhered too.

You can find local fishing by-laws here.
