Lockdown and fishing – has angling had a positive impact on your mental health?

We’re looking for stories from you that highlight the positive impact on mental health that angling has provided since lockdown restrictions have eased to support an upcoming media campaign.

We’ve seen how popular our sport has become this summer, with many enjoying getting outdoors and re-connecting with nature.

Maybe angling helped you overcome personal challenges through an unlikely friendship, or you have re-connected with family and friends to enhance your wellbeing?

Please email [email protected] if you would like to be involved and we will be in touch.
