Welcome to the Angling Trust

This temporary web site has been set up to provide information relating to the unification of angling bodies. This is probably the most exciting and important development in the history of angling: the formation of a single body to represent all anglers and angling across all disciplines.

The new organisation will be called the Angling Trust, supported by Fish Legal which will use the law to fight pollution, over-abstraction and any other issues which affect angling and fisheries.
The Angling Trust will campaign for:

• Conservation
• Protection of angling
• Increased government and Environment Agency support for angling and fisheries

The Angling Trust will deliver:

• Coaching
• Education programmes
• Greater participation in angling
• National and international competitions
• Angling Club development

The Angling Trust will fight:

• Pollution, litter and over-abstraction
• Declining marine and freshwater fish stocks
• Commercial overfishing
• Habitat degradation
• Damaging barrages, weirs and hydropower
• Poaching and fish theft
• Unlawful navigation
• Spread of diseases and parasites
• Predation by cormorants and goosanders
• Access restrictions
• Anti-angling campaigns

It has been formed from a merger of the National Federation of Anglers, the National Association of Fisheries and Angling Consultatives, the National Federation of Sea Anglers, the Anglers’ Conservation Association and the Specialist Anglers Alliance. More background to the unification process and details of progress with regular updates can be seen on the other pages.
