“Representatives from 6 European countries gathered in London over the past two days to discuss how to increase the numbers of young people going fishing, at a conference hosted by the Angling Trust on behalf of the European Anglers’ Alliance. 

Angling has been shown to be highly beneficial for the development of young people and provides opportunities for them to learn a wide range of skills.  It is also an excellent way for people of different ages to share an experience in the great outdoors, to encourage greater communication between the generations and more contact with nature for young people.”
