Location
Reading is the county town of Berkshire and lies in the north of the centre of the county. RG1 7TH.
Reading and the surrounding area is literally brimming with angling options. Three rivers provide tremendous opportunities for river angling around Reading: the Thames, and its two big tributaries the Loddon and Kennet. The Kennet is shadowed by, and merges on occasion with, the Kennet & Avon Canal to provide canal fishing. Reading has large numbers of fishing lakes clustered to the south west which supply stillwater angling for all the usual species and everything from match fishing to specimen hunting. In the south east of Reading, South Lake provides season ticket fishing for specimen carp and pike.
