Angling Trust Membership Rates
The Angling Trust is the representative body for all coarse, game and sea anglers in England. It is principally funded by income from subscriptions and donations from the angling community to perform this role. It also has a legal arm, Fish Legal, which takes action throughout the UK on behalf of its members to protect fish and fishing. This legal work is funded by additional subscriptions from members who own or lease waters and is also subsidised by individual membership subscriptions.
The more members the Angling Trust has, the more influence it has with politicians and the more resources it has to campaign for the protection and promotion of fish stocks and angling. If you love your fishing join now so we can do even more to protect it.
