Aidan Bordiuk


Digital Editor

Aidan is an enthusiastic angler who enjoys all fishing disciplines, from coarse and fly fishing to beachcasting. He is currently occupying the position of Digital Editor at Angling Times.

A lifelong passion for the aquatic environment led to him undertaking a degree at Sparsholt College, attaining a BSC Honours in Fishery Management and Aquaculture in 2014. His interest in fish-keeping has led to various jobs, including retail work and aquascaping - including elaborate koi ponds.

As a well established and respected member of the Angling Times team, he loves his job. Getting to speak to passionate anglers everyday and immersing himself into the world of angling, is a dream come true.

Aidan has a wealth of angling knowledge - gained from fishing for all different species of coarse, sea and game fish - enabling him to give expert advice on the new and most popular tackle on the market. In conjunction to this, he simply loves helping anglers catch more fish, describing it as "the best part of his job". Creating various advice pieces and how to-guides, he hopes to continue to assist you, putting more fish in your net!

In his personal fishing, Aidan is passionate about all aspects of angling, believing that variety is what keeps it fresh and exciting. During the winter he enjoys running a float down the Hampshire Avon and Dorset Stour for big chub and barbel, but with the closing of the rivers all focus is directed to saltwater.

In his early season beach fishing, smoothounds and rays are the main target, but the mystery of what could take the bait next is what provides the real excitement.

Summer will see Aidan take up carp and match fishing again before autumn arrives and big specimen roach, dace and barbel are once again the main focus.
