New Grants for Angling Aficionados
03/12/2020
The Environment Agency and Angling Trust have announced a new fund to encourage more people to take up fishing or reignite a passion for fishing.
In the wake of the England’s first coronavirus lockdown, an increase in the popularity of fishing was observed, with nearly a million people buying or renewing a fishing licence since the spring. As a means of encouraging the wellbeing benefits the sport can offer, the Get Fishing Fund has been created to encourage more people in England to take up fishing or get involved for the first time.
