Take A Friend Fishing is Back
‘Take a Friend Fishing’ is on from 27th July to 1st September 2024 for National Fishing Month!
Get together with a friend and create some amazing angling memories this summer.
Between 27th July to 1st September (inclusive), existing rod fishing licence holders in Wales can register for a FREE one-day Natural Resources Wales rod licence so they can take someone they know fishing.
Registration for a FREE fishing licence is open now at: https://takeafriendfishing.co.uk/register-free-friend-fishing-licence/
Summer is a fantastic time of year to get outdoors and spend some time next to the water. Taking a friend or family member on a fishing trip is the ideal opportunity to catch-up and enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of angling.
The free fishing licence will be sent with a confirmation email, so please remember to have the angler’s fishing licence and both people’s email addresses plus a few other details handy when you pre-register to Take a Friend Fishing.
Registration is open now so that anglers and their friends who want to get a date booked in advance can visit www.takeafriendfishing.co.uk to register for the FREE fishing licence.
Please note: A day ticket from the fishery or angling club will also be required. You can find places to go freshwater fishing in Wales here.
