Fishing Coarse Fishing in Lincolnshire

 

Major rivers in the county include the Witham, which flows in its entirety through Lincolnshire, the Welland in the south and the Ancholme in the north; the Fossdyke canal runs into Lincoln and there are a variety of drains around Boston and the Fens. They all represent excellent coarse fishing. The upper Witham, Great & Long Eau, Bain and upper Welland all offer interesting angling opportunities for the trout and game angler.

 

Lincolnshire Waterways Lincolnshire Waterways

We can thank the Romans for the Fossdyke Canal and the Brayford Pool at Lincoln and in medieval times Boston and Lincoln harnessed the River Witham for transport and saw their wealth grow. The 18th century fen drainage changed the map of Lincolnshire and the East Coast Floods of 1953 formed our attitudes to flood defence.The Lincolnshire Waterways Partnership is taking this baton forward into the 21st Century, working towards creating thriving river corridors that are a pleasure to visit. Walkers, cyclists, boaters, anglers and nature lovers have ample new waterside projects waiting for them to enjoy.

 Seals at both Mablethorpe and Donna Nook

It was in 1974 that the first seal arrived at the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Nature Centre and since then hundreds have been rescued and returned to the wild. The wildlife Life's a beach for the Seals at Donna Nookhospital built in 1989 not only made it possible to look after more seals but also gave visitors a better insight into the rearing of seal pups. Donna Nook is a habitat for thriving grey seals and of great conservational importance, boasting one of the largest and most accessible breeding colonies for the endangered mammal in Britain. As the BBC put it: ‘an encounter with a seal at Donna Nook is almost guaranteed because this is effectively a seal maternity hospital.’ When autumn turns into winter, hundreds of grey seals start hauling themselves onto the sand banks on the Lincolnshire coast to give birth to their pups – around 900 a year.
