Frequently Asked Questions
Public Liability insurance is included as standard in our Guides policy to a limit of £2m. Higher limits are available.
We would advise any professional angling coach to buy insurance.
Guiding might be your main source of income or a part time role and reputation is everything. Accidents do happen however and when they do you need a specialist on your side. Public Liability provides cover should one of your clients be injured whilst fishing under your direction and should the client believe you were responsible directly or indirectly. It also goes without saying that your fishing equipment is key to your role as Guide or Coach and for this reason we would always advise that kit is adequately insured. On top of this we would suggest that all self employed individuals have personal accident cover to enable you to have a weekly benefit should you be temporarily injured, which contributes to a lack of earnings whilst you are unable to guide or a fixed sum in the event of a permanent injury.
We do cover your guided fishing trips within the UK or overseas.
We do ask that any piece of equipment is specified if the value is over £1,000. This means that we ask you to specifically list these at the time of quotation.
We cover you for all guiding and coaching activities regardless of the ability of your client.
Personal Accident cover is included.
You can add boats to your policy. These need to be specified.
Travel is not included as standard but can be added to include yourself, spouse, partner or other family member.
Competitions are included as well as all other guiding activities.
Anyone who earns fees from their fishing activities and is not a pure hobbyist.

Claims we’ve hooked
Stolen Equipment
My home insurance didn’t cover my kit when I was away from home, so I had no protection. Thanks to Angling Protect, I can now rest easy knowing I have fishing kit insurance whenever I’m out on trips.
Lost Personal Effects
I unfortunately slipped and ended up waist high in the river! First day of the season too! I lost my phone and keys were in my pocket which were soaked and didn’t work! All covered under the personal effects cover.
Injured on the riverbank
I was delighted that my policy automatically covered part of my wages whilst I couldn’t work due to an angling related injury, which relieved some of the stress of being out of action.
