Fishing Republic renews partnership with Angling Trust in milestone anniversary year

Leading tackle retailer Fishing Republic has renewed its partnership with the Angling Trust in its 40th anniversary year – reaffirming a shared commitment to developing and protecting the future of angling across the UK.
Founded in 1985, Fishing Republic has become a household name among anglers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. With more than 60 stores located inside GO Outdoors, Fishing Republic plays a unique and powerful role in introducing fishing to families and individuals who otherwise might not think about heading to a tackle shop.
“Having a mainstream outdoors retailer dedicating so much space to angling is a huge benefit to the sport,” said Jamie Cook, CEO of the Angling Trust.
“If you’re not from a fishing background or don’t have a family connection to the sport, a visit to a GO Outdoors store with a Fishing Republic department might be the first time you see a wide range of tackle and bait – and the first spark of inspiration to go fishing. Fishing Republic not only serves existing local anglers, they help grow participation, too.”
As part of their renewed partnership, Fishing Republic continues to support the Angling Trust’s wide-ranging work – from grassroots club development to national campaigns for cleaner rivers and healthy fish stocks.
GO Outdoors Marketing Manager Stephanie Mann commented: “We continue to support the amazing work that Angling Trust do to protect, promote and develop fishing for all.
“The guidance they give to grass roots angling clubs is fantastic, and the campaigning work they lead for clean rivers and healthy fish stocks is inspiring, too. Quite simply, we care about the sport and the future of fishing, which is why we continue to support the Angling Trust in all that they do.”
The partnership also brings tangible benefits to Angling Trust members. All individual members enjoy a 10% in-store discount at Fishing Republic, helping make the sport more accessible and affordable for everyone.
