The first place to look for tackle is of course your local tackle shop.
We should remember that when we buy from them, they are also providing a service,
that can not be matched by mail order companies.
If the local tackle shop goes under, buying your maggots by post may well
prove to be a bit of a chore (Try bloody-hindering-awkward). Advice, and conversation
with others of like mind, comes free in such places and we can all spend too much
time in the best of them.
The Village Tackle Shop McCutcheon Tackle
Harris Angling provides a wide selection of imported lures and provides a prompt
delivery service.
The catalogue is an absolute must. The web site is quite slick,
and has some great angling links.
Sportfish provide a very large range of tackle and fly-tying materials, mostly for the game angler.

Coch-y-Bonddu Books Prop. Paul Morgan
Paul Morgan offers an excellent source of antiquarian
and contemporary books especially for the sportsman.

One of the best suppliers I've dealt with.
The Flyfishers Classic Library provides high quality leather-bound editions of
famous fishing books. Almost, but not all the books they issue, are
concerned with game fishing, and flyfishing in particular, they are quite
expensive, but probably worth it!

reasonably competitive and provide a good service.
