A very happy ‘Spring into Fishing’ participant shares some great feedback…
Graham Mabey, Regional Development Officer for London and South East England, shares some feedback from a Spring into Fishing event last year on South Parade Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth:
“On Saturday 17th June 2023 I attended a Spring into Fishing event held on South Parade Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth.
I would like to thank everyone working on the event. Very friendly and knowledgeable guys sharing their wealth of experience with enthusiasm to encourage people to fish in a sensible and healthy manner. It was great fun and has now given me the confidence to start enjoying fishing on my own. Thank you, Graham, for creating this opportunity for me. Also, thank you to Craig my one-to-one mentor, you guys were brilliant!”
Mark Joseph.
Spring into fishing events are now up and running around the country for 2024. If you would like to know more check out this link: Spring into Fishing
If you want to find out how to get into fishing, we can help! Our Get Fishing events are family and beginner orientated have-a-go sessions where everything you need to get started is included on the day. Most events are completely free or very low-cost and are ideal for beginner anglers or anybody who wants to get back into angling after a break.
Find events at www.anglingtrust.net/getfishing or contact one of our Regional Angling Development Officers to learn how to fish at fun, friendly angling events near to you!
The 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 in order to 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 the proper fishing licence to take hold of the rod or to help the child fish with it.
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.
