The winter 2026 issue is well-organized with clear sections on different fishing spots. The photography is sharp and the articles give practical advice. I especially liked the section on hunting reds — very detailed and useful for my local fishing trips.

Great mix of stories and technical tips. The Derwent sea-runners piece was informative and helped me refine my approach to river fishing. The layout is clean and easy to follow.
