During Take a Friend Fishing, existing fishing licence holders can register for a free one-day fishing licence from the Environment Agency to take someone they know fishing for the first time.
About Fishing Licences: You normally need a valid Environment Agency rod fishing licence if you are aged 13 or over and fish for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt or eel in England (except the River Tweed), Wales, and the Border Esk and its tributaries in Scotland. An annual fishing licence only costs £35.80 for up to 2 rods or £53.70 for up to 3 rods to fish for coarse fish & trout. For a salmon and sea trout licence it’s £90.40. Concessionary, short term and three rod coarse fishing licences are also available.

WHAT’S TAKE A FRIEND FISHING ALL ABOUT?
Take a Friend Fishing was relaunched in 2020 and since then over 6,000 people have taken part. Take a Friend Fishing (TAFF) is an Angling Trades Association initiative run in partnership with the Angling Trust, and Environment Agency. Take a Friend Fishing focuses on making it as easy as possible for an existing angler to take someone they know fishing. This work is supported by the Angling Trades Association and Environment Agency rod fishing licence income and helps to introduce thousands of people to fishing each year. Find out more at www.takeafriendfishing.co.uk. This year’s campaign aims to get even more people back out by the waterside and show that it’s still just as easy to get into angling, especially with a friend to show you how, and a free fishing licence from the Environment Agency usually worth £6.60 (…and £12.60 for salmon and seatrout when allowed!)
