Get Fishing News
04 June 2025
Come rain or shine – memories are made when you ‘Get Fishing’ – find an event and get into fishing with your family this summer!
The rain didn’t deter this Cast a Thought group over half term when they went to a Get Fishing event. In fact, it made it all the more fun!
Some great fish were landed with the group showing resilience, team work and all encouraging one another with their fishing.
Well done all!
The Angling Trust are 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 Spring into Fishing programme, every single day! So please check our Get Fishing events diary for new events near to you.
Our Get Fishing campaign is funded by
Our Regional Angling Development Officers and the Get Fishing campaign to get more people fishing more often are 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
as we all work towards getting more people fishing, more often.
If there’s something that you cannot find here to help you start fishing or return to angling, please contact your local Regional Angling Development Officer – you can find the nearest one to where you want to go fishing here.
