WHO RUNS EVENTS: ANGLING TRUST PARTNERS – clubs, fisheries, coaches and charities including Get Hooked on fishing
Angling Trust is the governing body for angling in England.
Funded by the Environment Agency and Sport England
Supported by our Exclusive Retail Partner Angling Direct and our Exclusive Fishing Tackle Partner Shakespeare Fishing Tackle
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.
The Get Fishing campaign to get more people fishing more often is 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 licence, and 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 licence for the full year, for 8 days (ideal for holidays!) or just a day’s fishing.
NOTE: Young children under 13 do not need a licence to fish but an adult person supervising them needs the correct fishing licence to take hold of the rod or to help the child fish with it.
