Anglers will fish in a competitive situation with the focus on being performance rather than esults.r Pole and waggler tactics will be used during the session, and local fishery rules will apply. The screening will give coaches an opportunity to observe and communicate with the anglers on a 1-1 basis. Coaches will assess anglers based on their performance. Parents can support the anglers from a designated area. Following completion of stage 1 events, coaches will select between 12-16 anglers to progress to Stage 2 of the pathway. Each angler will receive individual feedback on their performance and written notification within 14 days of the final screening event regarding the outcome of the selection process. Stage 2 Anglers selected to attend Stage 2 will enter a training programme focused on international tactics, techniques and rules, pole, waggler and natural baits. Anglers will be issued with a Personal Development Log to support their learning and progression through the pathway. Talent Pathway coaches will facilitate this learning throughout the duration of the programme. Anglers should be committed to the full programme by: • attending all sessions, including the Inter Super Regional match between the Northern, Midlands and Southern squads; • maintaining their personal development log; • providing own bait; • purchasing a permit for all sessions at rates negotiated with fisheries by the Angling Trust. If selected for Stage 2, there may be a large amount of travelling involved as venues will be spread throughout the country, depending on which squad anglers are selected to represent. There may be opportunities to car share which will be explored at the beginning of the programme. Team England managers or coaches will attend a number of stage 2 events to assess whether any angler should be invited to attend U18 trials. Stage 3 Anglers invited to attend England U18 trials will receive confirmation and full details from the Angling Trust. Anglers will be expected to provide their own transport, bait and equipment. This event will mark the end of the annual Talent Pathway programme and those anglers that fall within the age bands will have an opportunity to get involved in the programme the following year.

  • Save Our Sea Bass Bass Position Statement 2018
    Angling Trust | Save Our Sea Bass Bass Position Statement 2018 Background Up until the 1980s, sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) – which are present in the central and southern North Sea, Irish Sea, English Channel, Bristol Channel and Celtic Sea – were prized mainly by members of the public fishing recreationally by rod and line (henceforth referred to as ‘anglers’ or ‘the public’) and were subject to very little commercial exploitation. Since then, a retail market for bass developed, quota for other fish reduced, and commercial fishermen predictably responded by over-fishing the bass stock. Organisations like the Angling Trust, and the Bass Anglers’ Sportfishing Society (BASS) have been campaigning for the introduction of bass conservation measures for more than 20 years. But fishery managers and fisheries ministers made little attempt to control and protect the fishery, despite repeated warnings from scientists and conservation bodies (see below). The current dramatic decline was inevitable and entirely avoidable. Excerpt from “The BASS” Laboratory Leaflet No.59, 1987, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: 1 Our bass stock is in real trouble The bass stock is crashing. It was nearly 19,000 tonnes in 2010, but the forecast for 2018 is just 6,414 tonnes, a fall of two thirds. The stock is now well below the critical level of 8,075 tonnes (Blim), which means the future regeneration of the stock is now critically endangered and the stock may remain depleted for extended periods. Scientific advice issued by the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) in June 2013 recommended a 36% cut in fishing mortality (F) across the Northern EU area for 2014.

  • HIGHLY PROTECTED MARINE AREAS Angling Trust Response to the Benyon Review June 2020
    JULY 2020 HIGHLY PROTECTED MARINE AREAS Angling Trust Response to the Benyon Review June 2020 #WHENWEFISHAGAIN Angling Trust - Highly Protected Marine Areas Response Angling Trust - When We Fish Again 1.OBJECTIVES This briefing paper represents the formal response from the Angling Trust to the Benyon Review Panel’s recommendations in respect of recreational sea angling (RSA). It is a key part of our call to Ministers to accept the need for HPMAs but reject those ill-informed aspects of the report relating to angling in favour of a second process of meaningful engagement with the recreational angling sector which would see the creation of specific recreational only buffer zones. Marine conservation and recreational fishing share the same goals and the Review Panel’s recommendation to exclude the angling community from the process has created wholly unnecessary conflict. A CAUTIONARY As well as setting out the evidence case for some forms of recreational fishing in and around marine protected areas we also highlight some of the best available praNcticOe frTomE around the world where the engagement and involvement of the angling community has improved conservation outcomes. Page 01 2. RECOMMENDATIONS The Angling Trust calls upon ministers to accept the case for the introduction HPMAs as proposed by the Benyon Review, but to reject those inaccurate aspects of the report that wrongly equate the impacts of modern recreational sea angling as equivalent to damaging industrial activities such as trawling, dredging and drilling, in favour of a second

It is not something that commands great media attention (and income) like football, cricket or rugby even though it has as many if not more participants. It is not often a part of the everyday ‘vista of life’, like seeing people cycling or running, although it goes on all around us. Angling doesn’t generate much mainstream media hype around its celebrities, even though it has them. Angling isn’t visible in the way other activities are and for most people anglers are people they may see in odd locations and on odd occasions – by the canal in the city centre or on the beach when on holiday, or in quirky adverts. Such a lack of encounters generates a more general public ignorance of the activity: the widespread belief that it is entirely sedentary, and probably involves sitting still, in the rain, under an umbrella, doing and catching little.

  • January 2016 Newsletter
    First Cast ... Now that Santa has sleighed away for another year, we wish A Happy New Year to all of our members and welcome to the first 2016 edion of your ‘The Big Puddle’. Looking back over the 2015 season, it’s been a mixed year dominated by difficult weather condions, mainly strong changeable winds. It has been an oen frustrang season with fewer fish in the net. However, Rutland gave us some of its finest dry fly and floang fry fishing during the season and even as I write some fine, fit trout are being caught on floang lines with dries, nymphs and fry paerns sll working in the depths of Winter. It’s not been a year for big numbers of large fish, although a good few have been caught, however, the fish are in great shape and feeding well in the unusually mild December condions. Let’s hope that with more than usual trout sll in the lake we can look forward to catching some heavy over-wintered fish of which Rutland water is famous, when the lake opens in Mid-March. It’s been a quiet couple of months from the boats, with bank fishing producing beer results. A smaering of predator anglers have been jigging the depths in search of Zander, resulng in fewer numbers but bigger average size this year. RWFF hope that you have enjoyed the Winter social evenings at the Cricket Club, we’ve had good aendances for these evenings and if you’ve missed them so far, please come along in January and enjoy some great real ale, smashing sandwiches, interesng talks and a bit of fun with like-minded fellow fly fishers.
