Remember when a friend or family member took you fishing when you were young or just starting out? We bet everyone has experienced a memorable session or two like that – sharing the bank with someone else is always more fun! And with the Take A Friend Fishing campaign, there is the chance to take someone for FREE.
Through this website, and via other media outlets, you can get a free one-day rod licence (worth £3.75) so you can take a mate or a family member on a fishing session between Friday 18 April and Sunday 27 April 27th 2014.
In additional to a FREE rod licence, your friend can also fish for free at a number of Angling Trust fishery and club member venues. These Angling Trust members have pledged to support the Take a Friend Fishing campaign by offering FREE day ticket or member passes so that your friend can fish for nothing on their waters (some exclusions may apply). Click HERE to see the venues that are taking part.
All you need to do now is print off the rod licence voucher (below – or as a PDF in the attachment section of this webpage) fill in your details, validate it online HERE, read the Terms and Conditions, grab your tackle and your voucher and go fishing with your friend!
The free rod licence voucher cannot be used to fish for coarse fish on any river, stream or drain in England and Wales between 15 March and 15 June inclusive. The closed season may apply to some canals and still waters in your area – please check before going fishing.
Don’t forget to tell us how your friends get on by emailing pictures (including venue name, catch details, your info and daytime telephone number) to info@takeafriendfishing.co.uk
Once your friends, family or colleagues have been fishing and got the bug, don’t forget to ensure they go online HERE and buy themselves a rod licence so they can enjoy fishing for the rest of the year.
