VIDEO: What are your favourite fishing moments?! – Get Fishing events are the perfect place to learn to fish
What are your favourite fishing moments?!
The Environment Agency popped along to a Get Fishing event recently, and made a great video where participants summed up what their best times have been fishing, or why they love going fishing to experience nature and all of the health and wellbeing benefits that simply spending time by water brings to thousands of people every year.
Watch the video HERE
Don’t forget, the Angling Trust’s #SpringIntoFishing campaign is running now for a sixth year with FREE or low-cost have-a-go fishing sessions to re-awaken your love of the great outdoors.
Bring friends or family to learn to fish and make unforgettable memories!
There will be more events like this coming up for Summer 2025! Keep checking our Get Fishing Events diary to find out when.
We’re helping to organise more Get Fishing Events like this in your area too, and in fact all over the country!
Events are added to our website and social media all the time and at the moment, during our popular Get Fishing programme, every single day!
So please check our Get Fishing events diary for new events near to you.
The Get Fishing campaign is funded by
The Angling Trust’s 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 before you go fishing. You can get a licence for the full year, for 8 days (ideal for holidays!) or just a day’s fishing.
NOTE: Although young children who are under 13 year old do not need a licence to fish, the person supervising them needs to have the proper fishing licence before they take hold of the fishing rod or help the child fish with it.
Get Fishing is Proudly Supported by
The Angling Trust’s ‘Get Fishing’ campaign is proudly supported by
Shakespeare, Exclusive Tackle Partner and Angling Direct, Exclusive Retail Partner
