A quick look at issue 243, on sale February 23rd-March 23rd, 2011

Improve Your Coarse Fishing has recently given itself a bit of a facelift. The price has remained the same, but the layout has changed. In my opinion, it’s definitely for the better, too.

Improve Your Coarse Fishing (IYCF) is, as you can tell by the title, a magazine that is designed to help the coarse fisherman (or woman) to learn how to catch more fish. In my opinion, the new layout is a lot clearer and gives it a lot more ‘academic’ feel – you really do feel like it’s designed to help you learn. The new layout definitely gets the thumbs up from me!

Each month, also, there will be a 48-page “Tips & Tactics” supplement. If they’re all as good as this first one, then many will buy the magazine just for that reason alone!

Here’s a taster of what’s inside the main magazine, courtesy of the ‘Contents’ page (even this page has been made 100% clearer!):
