Rod fishing
The primary practical area of FishingHQ, and where the majority of future depth will go. Rod-and-line angling covers coarse, carp, predator, lure, game, sea and match fishing — different traditions with different tackle, held together by one thing on the end of a line.
Carp fishing
A specialist branch of coarse fishing that has driven more tackle and bait innovation than any other, built around a single learning species.Coarse fishing
The British and Irish tradition of freshwater angling for species other than salmon and trout — and the most accessible way into fishing there is.Fly fishing
Casting a nearly weightless artificial using the weight of the line itself — a solution to a specific problem that became a tradition of its own.Lure fishing
Fishing with artificial baits worked by the angler, across fresh and salt water — the most active and most mobile way of fishing there is.Match fishing
Competitive coarse angling against a clock and a drawn peg, and the branch of the sport where technique has been refined hardest.Predator fishing
Freshwater angling for pike, perch, zander and other fish-eating species, using lures, deadbaits and livebaits rather than groundbait and small hooks.Sea fishing
Rod-and-line angling in salt water, from shore or boat — the branch of fishing with the widest species range and the highest baseline risk.
