This is a list I regulally get sent. Please be aware times and dates may change so keep an eye out for updates and use contact details to ensure they are still on.
Below is a list of dates I have for opens both boat and shore which hopefully i will be able to keep updated. Nearer the date when i get the info i will endeavour to post the information. If anyone has a date they would like added please let me know. Some of these dates at the minute are just provisional so please if you are an angling writer do not publish these in any magazines. In the past this has been done and the dates have been wrong.
