 | The national ‘Take a Friend Fishing’ and ‘National Fishing Month’ campaigns are back in 2023 with an extended programme of events. |
Aimed at attracting new anglers into the sport and encouraging lapsed anglers to pick up their rods and head back to the waterside, ‘Take a Friend Fishing’ and ‘National Fishing Month’ offer more opportunities than ever before for anglers to go fishing with a non-angling friend during their extended 2023 Easter and summer campaigns.
To encourage existing anglers to become involved in the ‘Take a Friend Fishing’ Easter initiative, which runs from Saturday, April 1st to Sunday, April 16 inclusive, and National Fishing Month’s ‘Summer Holidays’ campaign between Saturday 29th July and Sunday 3rd September inclusive, existing fishing licence holders can register for a free one-day fishing licence from the Environment Agency at www.takeafriendfishing.co.uk to take someone they know fishing.
The one-day licences would normally cost worth £6.60 for a coarse licence.
Take a Friend Fishing is an initiative run by the Angling Trades Association in association with the Environment Agency and supported by Angling Trust, the Canal & River Trust and many other angling organisations.
Andrew Race, Chairman of the Angling Trades Association, said: “After the success of Take a Friend Fishing in 2022, I am looking forward to building momentum again in 2023 with an extended programme. Take a Friend Fishing is capable of making such a difference, not only to the long-term development of angling recruitment, but also to people’s lives. Angling is a proven therapy both mentally and physically and it knows no boundaries in terms of ability, age, sex, or background.”
