WELCOME TO TAKE A FRIEND FISHING
"Take a friend fishing" is a 6-week campaign, where the Anglers of the United Kingdom are being encouraged to take a person who they feel would benefit from a day's fishing.
We're Off!!!
Take a Friend Fishing was officially launched last weekend at the CLA Game Fair held at Blenheim Palace. Actor Bernard Cribbins came to meet us and lend his support to the Take a Friend Fishing scheme.
Aim
The aim to encourage over 50,000 committed anglers to take part in this festival between 21st July and 31st August and simply take a friend fishing.
If you make their day an enjoyable one, you should have another person to go fishing with for life or alternatively allow your friends to see the enjoyment you get from Britain'™s largest outdoor participated pastime.
So what happens next?
There are a number of ways to get involved with TAFF. As a Fishery Owner, or a Club Organiser, if you have plans to hold any events or special days or offers at your club, lake or Fishery, don't hesitate to get in touch and we can help your promote your event. Log your events on our promotions page
Anglers
As an Angler who would like to introduce a friend to fishing, keep an eye on our news and offers page for events or introductory days being held near you.
Choose a friend - . Somebody who you think will enjoy the experience. It could be a family member. It could be someone who you know used to fish some years ago. Buy your Day Licence from the Environment Agency.
- Choose your stretch of water carefully. It is best to ensure that your friend has every chance of catching a fish.
- they are offering a 2 for 1 during Take a friend fishing, so that your cost can be reduced.
- Make sure you take a camera because we want to hear about your day.
- Ensure you have all the correct tackle & bait for you and your friend and off you go!
Tell us your story?
This is where we hope the fun will start. With over a million people going fishing, we are convinced that you will have some great stories to share with us. Who knows there could be some record fish caught, some tremendous pictures to print, many happy smiling faces as well as the odd grumpy one! What better way to record your day'™s fishing than on our website?
What do you do now?
- Register you & your friend on the website.
- Register your story & pictures. (The organisers of "Taff"™ reserve the right to refuse all articles & pictures prior to approval)
