Many of us like to pursue a particular species of fish, and to become experts in the techniques required to catch them, as well as targeting the largest specimens available.

The Angling Trust was formed from an historic merger of six angling and conservation organisations in January 2009. One of these organisations, the Specialist Anglers Alliance (SAA) grew to protect and represent specialist anglers throughout the UK, under one body.

The Angling Trust continues the SAA's important work and key objectives - click HERE to discover more about Specialist Angling and the Angling Trust.

If you are a specialist angler then you will have been affected in some way by the issues the Angling Trust are fighting on for the benefit of all angling. Read more about our work on these issues like poaching, pollution and predation HERE. If you were a member of the SAA join the Angling Trust HERE and continue to support the work of that organisation.

The Angling Trust encourage all specialist anglers to join us and become part of our campaigns so that the specialist angling community has a powerful voice through its representative body - the Angling Trust.
