CREEL is for the traditional angler, someone who might use a cane rod, maybe a centre pin reel, and someone who still gets a raised eyebrow in the tackle shop when they ask for a pint of gentles or a quill float.

The one mantra you live by is that your fishing should be fun.You angle to enjoy yourself - a shared morning with friends, a few hours after tea casting a spinner for perch, or maybe a classic June dawn alone, hunkered down quietly between the stands of reedmace as the quill flickers and wavers in response to unseen activity hidden below the water’s surface. Collectors, builders, craftsmen, artists, single species groups, writers and experts are 'CREELS' quarry.
