Where the individual fishery details are complete you'll find a map of how to get there, contact information for local tackle shops and angling clubs, B&Bs, pubs and even takeaway restaurants--some entries also include photographs either of the venue itself or of proud anglers and their catch. Most important, there's also a table that lists recent catches of specimen fish from each particular water and gives visiting anglers a sense of how well it's been fishing.

You can print out fishery details to take with you which is useful if you're on holiday, and registered owners also get access to the Fishooked Web site where there's even more information, reviews of tackle, and forums where you can exchange information with like-minded anglers. There's a do-it-yourself element too where you can add fisheries you've visited to the database, record your own catches and type up detailed opinions of any waters you've visited. Given that finding the right place to fish is half the battle, this is easy to use and excellent value for money. --Rob Beattie
