You will see from the activities and the number of groups I mention here, that fishing isn’t just about fishing!
Participating in fly fishing helps you understand the need to
improve our rivers and supporting groups who actively work on improving the
environment.
Buglife
I have recently joined Buglife. As fly fishers we depend upon the bug life of our rivers. I also bought myself a perspex pootah to try to catch and identify some of the critters around the river

About The
Angling Trust
If you value your fishing and the riverside I would suggest
you join the Angling Trust.
The Angling Trust is the representative body for game,
coarse and sea anglers in England.
Members support the campaigns and legal action they carry out to protect fish
stocks and their programmes to increase the number of anglers fishing for fun
and in competitions. They are fighting for the future of YOUR fishing, and need
YOUR support to do more. If you want to protect your fish, fishing and the
environment, for now and in future, join the angling trust today.

The Atlantic Salmon
Trust
Working for wild
salmon and sea trout in all their habitats - Ocean, coastal and fresh water
Reducing threats to survival and maximising abundance.
Reducing threats to survival and maximising abundance.
During the last 30
years, numbers of wild salmon returning from the sea have fallen by more than
half. Wild Salmon and Sea Trout are an important natural resource and we need
help to find out why, and what can be done to stem this decline.
Since 1967, the Atlantic Salmon Trust has been
involved in the funding and sponsorship of practical research programmes
tackling the problems wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout face today.
