Get Fishing Fund – Funded Project: Get into fishing at Sherwood Forest Fishery
Licenced Level 2 angling coach Gary Peet, in partnership with Sherwood Forest Fishery continued with his ever popular coaching sessions throughout the summer. The sessions provide the perfect opportunity to not only have a go at fishing but importantly develop all the skills and confidence you need to fish independently.
This project is one of over 200 projects nationally that have benefitted from an investment from the Get Fishing Fund. The fund has invested nearly £200,000 of fishing licence money to help get more people into fishing during the past year. The fund is provided by the Environment Agency and administered by the Angling Trust.

What is the Get Fishing Fund?
The Get Fishing Fund has invested nearly £200,000 of fishing licence money to help get more people into fishing over the past year. The fund is provided by the Environment Agency and administered by the Angling Trust. The Environment Agency supports angling-based projects with grants of up to £2,500 to help purchase equipment, fishing tackle, resources and run fishing activities that give people the opportunity to get into fishing for the first time.
About Get Fishing
Get Fishing is the Angling Trust‘s campaign to grow participation in angling and get more people fishing more often. Annually, the Get Fishing campaign introduces over 30,000 people to angling at hundreds of fun, safe and friendly events funded by the Environment Agency from fishing licence income as part of the National Angling Strategic Services contract with the Angling Trust, and Sport England. Children under 13 do not need a fishing licence, and fishing licences for children aged between 13 and 16 are free but you still need to register and receive a licence in order to go fishing. You can get a fishing licence for the full year, for 8 days (ideal for holidays!) or just a day’s fishing.
The Angling Trust’s ‘Get Fishing’ campaign is proudly supported by
Shakespeare, Exclusive Tackle Partner and Angling Direct, Exclusive Retail Partner
as we all work towards getting more people fishing, more often.
