June 26th, 2018 by Sandy

The Canal & River Trust along with Little Britain Angling Club has organised for a free fishing event as a part of “Lets fish 2018” on Saturday – July 7, 2018 on the Rochdale Canal, The Hopwood Arms, 753 Rochdale Road, Radcliffe, Manchester M24 2RA. The event will take place between 10 am to 4 pm.

The charity is inviting the families in the North Manchester area to visit the waterway to take part in lets fish activity and try out free fishing. A research by the Trust recently found that spending time at the waterways will be a great way to burst out the stress and get peace and happiness which improves the health and wellbeing. The ultimate aim of the event is to make the people come out of their homes and have fun along with their family and friends in fishing activity to be free of stress.

A professional coach will give basic training on fishing to the participants and they can get a chance to know about the variety of fishes in the rivers. All the equipments & permissions such as tackle and bait, a rod license & fishing permit will be provided by the organiser for free.

The Canal & River Trust is a registered charity which takes care of 2000 miles waterways across Wales and England. They are engaged in transforming the canals and rivers into a place of providing peace and happiness for the people to spend time at the shore of the waterways and working along with the local communities in Wales and England. The trust’s waterways are having around 40 different varieties of species.

National Fisheries & Angling Manager for the Canal & River Trust – John Ellis said that fishing at the local canal or river is a wonderful chance of making the mind free of stress and keep away from other regular things of life. It is a good exercise because fishing activity will burn 500 calories in one morning. Lets Fish events are great opportunities for the local residents to get relaxed, learn a new thing and spend time with family and friends. The nature’s greenish trees and blue waters will help the people to improve their wellbeing. Fishing in the environment will for sure make them to be in touch with nature always.
