A quick look at issue 233. On sale May 19th-June 16th, 2010

There’s still time to grab a copy of Improve Your Coarse Fishing (IYCF), with a tempting crucian on the front cover and a promise of how to make them ‘fizz’ for your bait inside!

A free DVD is also included; Catch More Carp by Matt Hayes is bound to be popular! This has never been seen on TV, so some may buy the magazine just for that alone!

Here’s a sample of what’s on offer inside Improve Your Coarse Fishing:

Improve Your Coarse FishingDREAM DESTINATIONS
IYCF are off to try their luck at tench and bream fishing against the gorgeous back-drop of Belvoir Castle in Lincolnshire.

PASTE REVOLUTION
Paste that stays on the hook even if it’s cast way out on a waggler rig is among the Holy Grail of angling. But it’s her, now that Andy Findlay invented it! IYCF put the paste that sticks to the test.

SPRING TENCH
There’s more to tench fishing at this time of year than loads of groundbait and red maggots. Junior matchman Carl Yeowell shows how you need to modify your tactics to catch spring tincas.

UNDERWATER ANGLING
This is the series that may well turn upside down much you thought you ‘knew’ about fishing. This time, IYCF look at what really happens when you cast a feeder.
