Match Fishing Magazine July 2025 Edición anterior

As the country basks in summer sunshine what better way to catch carp is there than with paste, and July cover star Andy Findlay is one of the best in the business to explain it to you. He must have caught more big fish on paste than most of us have had hot dinners, and he’s not afraid of sharing his tactics.

There’s a wide old mix in this issue, with two river features that were done right at the start of the new season – James Robbins passes on some tips for winkling out a few fish from the Warwickshire Avon, advice that could win a few Division One National anglers a few points in August, while Kye Jerrom tells how the season started on the Yare for him and his Hotrods team-mates.

Also, Nick Speed visits the huge Swinsty Reservoir in Yorkshire for some natural water silver fishing, and there’s top commercial pole advice from England captain Will Raison and Jim Hall, plus pellet waggler tips from Leigh Hodgkinson. Meanwhile, Alex Clements searches out another great silver-fish venue where there’s a great chance of a bar of gold in your net at the end of the day…

All this plus results from Match Fishing’s own events – the Garbolino Club Angler of the Year and MAP UK Pole Championship qualifiers – did you fish, did you qualify, together with tackle reviews including Daiwa’s new margin pole and a competition to win one of three Spectron Distance Feeder rods.

That should keep you busy…
