Always sad to see local tackle shops close, as they can be great for the latest information and of course, the obvious place to get a fishing permit.
It's not just the small businesses who are suffering though, with Bennets of Sheffield, and recently Mullarkeys going down.
But i have to admit, to being an eshopping angler for the last few years....

Must agree, its a shame to see a good tackle shop go under, good places for a bit of local knowledge, always helpful if your a visitor to a new area and planning an outing whether it be Coarse, Sea or Game angling.
Beats me how a tackle shop in my local town can manage to stay open, never see anyone in it, used to stock a good range of fly angling/tying stuff, pretty much supplies to the coarse fraternity these days, could it be a sign of the times where Game Angling is getting just a tad to expensive for the ordinary man on the street, a victim of its own success.
