The Thames Anglers’ Conservancy report that the event was held for the first time at Hurst Park Open space in Molesey and, despite the cold conditions, there were many local anglers out enjoying the free event.
Members of the Walton Pike Anglers Club along with coaches provided by the Environment Agency gave talks and demonstrations of Pike handling, tackle and the opportunity try out different styles of fishing.
Along with the anglers, members of the public stopped and watched the Pike being handled which gave TAC volunteers the chance to engage with them about a range of issues that affect the river and championing the conservation side of our sport.
