A quick look at issue 241, on sale between December 29th, 2010 – January 26th, 2011

It seems that it’s quite easy to sell a magazine these days; stick a picture of a great big carp on the front and watch it fly off the shelves. It’s nice, therefore, to see a PERCH on the front of Improve Your Coarse Fishing this month. For many of us, it was one of the first fish we ever caught and still lures us onto the banks of lakes and rivers whenever we get the chance.

Detailing the latest tactics from the nation’s top anglers, Improve Your Coarse Fishing arms you with the vital information you need to get the most from your fishing.
