LET’S GO FISHING!
FREE Illustrated Guides to Safe and Responsible Fishing
By Clive Branson
Former World Angling Champion
Welcome to Let’s Go Fishing!, a growing collection of free, illustrated educational booklets designed to help youngsters, parents and complete beginners discover the wonderful world of fishing.
After seeing concerns about swans and other wildlife becoming tangled in discarded fishing tackle at Roath Park Lake in Cardiff, I decided to do something positive.
Having enjoyed over 60 years of angling, I believe that teaching youngsters how to fish correctly, safely and responsibly is one of the best ways to protect our fish, birds and waterways.
We now have four colourful eight-page booklets available completely FREE!
Parents, schools, fishing clubs and tackle shops are welcome to download and share them.
Let’s teach the next generation to enjoy fishing while respecting nature!
