Jo Stephenson – Big Fish Off semi finalist, fly tyer and guide
I am so thrilled to be asked to be an ambassador for the Angling Trust. For many of us fishing is a way of life no matter what the discipline or target quarry, it can take you all over the world and build you great friendships. Like most fishing fanatics I want to see our fish and their waterways looked after and protected, not only for me but for the future of fishing, I want to see more young people (and more women) encouraged to pick up a rod and shown how to love and respect our fish and pastime. The Angling Trust is there to do just those things for the benefit of all of us. Every angler should support the Angling Trust and their campaigns or our way of life could become a way of the past.
