Chris Haines began fishing over forty years ago and after a successful match career, decided to establish Haines Angling in 1991.

This allowed Chris to turn his passion into a business by offering coaching, fishing lakes and a tackle shop.

Originally based in Frome and since 2005 located at Clivey Fishery near Dilton Marsh in Wilsthire.

Chris wanted to offer a total angling solution where he could provide a picturesque location for anglers while offering his extensive knowledge to provide coaching sessions to both novice and experienced anglers alike.

Chris enjoys all types of angling but his passion lies in fishing and teaching traditional float fishing and modern pellet waggler techniques.
