BEST PRACTICE GUIDE
FOR FRESHWATER
ANGLING
The Angling Trust is proud to announce the launch of the Best
Practice Guide for Freshwater Angling – a comprehensive
resource designed to promote responsible, sustainable, and safe
angling across the UK.
This free, downloadable guide provides anglers of all levels
with clear, practical advice on how to care for fish, protect the
environment, support fellow anglers, and follow legal and safety
guidelines.
Produced in collaboration with major angling organisations,
including Tenchfishers, The Grayling Society, and the Pike
Anglers Club of Great Britain, the guide is built around six core
principles:
• Care for the fish you catch.
• Appreciate and protect the environment.
• Help other anglers and encourage newcomers.
• Treat everyone with respect.
• Follow the rules and always fish legally.
• Fish safely and follow health and safety guidance.
The guide includes expert tips on fish handling, unhooking
techniques, safe rig use, water temperature awareness, and
biosecurity. It also highlights the importance of community
involvement, environmental stewardship, and legal compliance.
