Underdog Crew hosts top draw fishing events with Hintlesham Fishery – learn to fish at a Get Fishing event near home

It was fantastic to see Underdog Crew running some lovely Get Fishing Events at Hintlesham Fishery. a real opportunity for family fishing during our ongoing Spring Into Fishing campaign during April to June!

We’re helping to organise more Get Fishing events like this in area and in fact all over the country!

Events are added to our website and social media all the time and at the moment, during our popular Spring into Fishing programme, every single day! So please check our Get Fishing events diary for new events near to you.

If you are fishing in a different Region you will meet one of my counterpart Officers, or more often than that, one of the experienced, friendly network of Event Delivery Partners that help us organise a nationwide spread of free or low-cost angling beginner sessions.

The events are run in partnership with dedicated Event Delivery Partners, they are all fun, safe and friendly and are part-funded by the Environment Agency who also provide a FREE rod fishing licence for the event, that covers everybody while they are fishing.

After the event ends we aim for participants to be better enabled to progress or complete their newcomer angler journey, and be ready to take the first-steps on their own visits to fisheries and venues where they can fish on their own as long as they have the correct rod fishing licence, some basic knowledge of how to catch and release coarse fish including carp, perch and roach, or catch game fish including trout at places that are geared up for that type of fishing with flies or trout lures.

I will help explain these differences if we meet at one of my fishing events in the East of England where I am the Regional Angling Development Officer.

Whatever part of the country you are in you can get more information on beginner fishing, what to use to start fishing, the fishing licence you need to fish in freshwater and the best places to go fishing near where you live by asking us at a Get Fishing get into fishing have a go session, by visiting one of our partner Angling Direct stores or by contacting the Regional Angling Development Officer themselves for a chat or exchange of emails or messages to help you get outdoors angling on your own!

Look forward to meeting you at a Get Fishing event and remember to look out for our Summer of Fishing events starting soon.

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
