To manage your subscription and free trial, simply login to the website and go to Account then Manage Subscription. Here you can cancel your trial or subscription at any time, or upgrade from Monthly to Annual subscription. However if you subscribed to Fishing TV via Amazon Fire, iOS or Android In App subscriptions, or via Roku, you will need to manage the subscription via those services directly.

To rent a premium video, click on the video that you want to watch in the channel, playlist or search results page to open the video page.

Click Rent – you will be asked to confirm that you want to proceed. Click Confirm and you will be taken to the player page. Click on title image to begin playing, or use the Watch Video button .

There is no limit on the number of times you can watch a rented video, only the 72 hour time limit from when you first press play.

If you would prefer to buy a video to watch several times, and don’t want the 72 hour time limit, you can purchase videos to keep forever in your library and watch as many times as you please, for as long as you like. The process is exactly the same as for renting, except you click on Buy Video.

Click Buy Video – you will be asked to confirm that you want to proceed. Click Confirm and you will be taken to the player page. Click on the title image to begin playing, or use the Watch Video button.

The homepage features a selection of playlists, including ‘New Releases’ which will always be at the top.

You’ll also find links to the six FishingTV Channels, where you’ll find the bulk of our films, series and episodes. These are

• Carp Channel – all things carpy
• Coarse and Match Fishing Channel – full of variety
• Fly Fishing Channel – freshwater and saltwater fly fishing
• Planet Fish – sustainability, conservation and the power of fishing
• Predators – big, toothy fish
• Saltwater Angler – from the coasts to the deep blue sea

A carefully selected collection of episodes and films on a theme; it could be a particular fish, presenter or something totally different. Some are specific to a channel, eg Saltwater Angler, while others draw on content from across the platform. They may contain both free and premium content.

A complete set episodes of classic and original fishing series from around the world. Usually a series will clearly belong to a particular channel, eg the Carp Channel, but sometimes they straddle several disciplines, so you might come across a series in, say, the Fly Fishing Channel that also contains some episodes that are about a different style of fishing, eg lure fishing. This is particularly common in magazine style shows.

If you want to buy a whole series at once (and save money doing so) we offer a Series Pass option, which puts a every episode of that series directly into your library.

When episodes are released over time, such as with Carp Wars, each episode will appear in your library as and when it becomes available on the site.

Series Passes are available in Rent or Buy formats.

Where a piece of content stands alone, outside a series, we call it a film. These include documentaries, fictional films, exposés and more, and range from 10 minutes to feature-length pieces.

In case you want to see everything all in one place, we call all our content ‘videos’, so that’s everything from short hints and tips clips to episodes of series to feature length films, all on one list.
