Abbey Lake makes fishing fun!

Our Partnership Development Manager Dean Asplin worked with Abbey Lake Angling Club who hosted a great Let’s Go Family Fishing event… Dean writes:

I congratulate Abbey Lake Angling Club and all involved in delivering such a fun event which really captured the Let’s Go Family Fishing campaign message that “fishing is for everyone!” Club volunteers did a fantastic job and introduced over 55 people to angling – a brilliant result.

Charlotte Cook, the council’s Community Manager made contact with me again after the session to say that “Everyone really enjoyed themselves and the club had a brilliant time delivering the event.”

You can find more events like this one at Get Fishing Near You and subscribe to our e-news at the foot of this page for updates.
