Get Fishing News
With school summer holidays over you can still go fishing!
Fishing provides a level of concentration and focus that screens just don’t provide.
This family came to a recent Get Fishing event and by the end of their session, the brothers did not want to stop fishing. Ryan, Dwayne, Leo and Charlie enjoyed it so much we’re sure they’ll be back for more before long!
Although the school holidays are over why not give your family the experience these brothers had? We’ll still be organising more Get Fishing Events like this all over the country!
Events are added to our website and social media all the time and at the moment, during our popular Summer of 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 Angling Direct, Exclusive Retail Partner as we 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.
