Fishing is one of the best ways to escape the drudgery of everyday life, embrace the great outdoors and get back to nature. Whether you’re a fishing fanatic or simply want to experience the art of fishing for the first time, Villaway has a selection of delightful villas in prime fishing locations.

Throughout Europe, you will find key fishing destinations including Denmark, Sweden, Spain and France or for the more adventurous why not try your hand at fishing in the Florida Keys.

For those seeking sunshine and beautiful scenery visit Spain which has much to offer the avid angler including some of the best course fish such as Carp and Barbel. When fishing in rivers and dams in Andalusia you’ll discover a wide variety of freshwater fish such as Trout, Pike and Black Bass as well as Barbel and Carp. Andalucia is brimming with predominantly man-made lakes that offer beautiful locations for fishing and bird watching. Other must-fish destinations in Spain include the ever popular River Ebro or the wonderful region of Murcia which is perfect for year round fishing due to its exceptional climate.

Franceis home to some of the world’s best fishing destinations, in particular the picturesque Limousin region of central France which is often referred to as the ‘Lake District of France’. Limousin is dotted with lakes and rivers perfect for fishing and accompanied by its magnificent scenery and pleasing climate is a fisherman’s paradise.

Or explore the world famous Florida, home to almost 12,000 miles of rivers and streams, approximately 8,000 lakes and 2,100 marinas. Florida is paradise for fishing enthusiasts offering access to bass, crappie, blue gill and catfish. For seemingly never ending freshwater fishing, take to Lake Okeechobee, the second largest freshwater body within the borders of the United States where Redear sunfish, giant catfish, crappie, bass and snook are yours for the catching!

If you’re looking for the perfect villa and fishing combination you’re definitely spoilt for choice in the UK. Fish for crabs in North Tyneside or visit the South coast for cod fishing in May, or to the wondrous shingle beach of Walmer in Kent. The beaches of the North and South Cornish coasts are renowned with surfers from all over the world and are perfect for bass fishing. If you’re looking to leave the shoreline take a small fishing boat from Exmouth in Devon in search of the perfect Pollock. Or for a more traditional approach fish from the Marina Pier in Brighton for Bass and sea Trout.
