Magazine History

Our range of publications have been in development for more than 20 years, branching out from the original David Hall’s Coarse Fishing magazine. The portfolio currently comprises 10 magazines, eight monthly consumer publications and two supporting the trade, and, over the years, each title has evolved into the great reads they are today.

Click on each of the features to the right for a detailed look into the history of the magazine. We hope you will join us in reliving our memories and experiences of creating the angling magazines you love to read – the best angling magazines on the market!
