The changes have been introduced following a survey conducted by the Angling Trust to gather the thoughts and opinions of anglers about how the trust could improve the Winter League. The results of the survey were clear and that change was required if the Winter League was to see an upward turn in satisfaction and participation.

Preston innovations England Feeder Team take double gold at the World Championship
At the fourth time of asking the England Feeder team blew away the opposition to take a wonderful Gold medal – their first since the competition's inception.
Held on Inniscarra Lake in Southern Ireland, the England team totalled just 26 points over the two days – a staggering 36 points ahead of runners-up Ireland.
A true ‘Method’ water, Inniscarra turned out to be a fair arena for the championship, which allowed the team to really show their ability on an even playing field. The fishing was all about catching skimmers of various sizes at short range.
