Question Are you an Angling Trust member?

We now have a body that represents ALL anglers and ALL angling interests.

Have you joined Angling Trust?

If you have not joined, is there a reason?

If you have not joined, what is needed before you would join?

If you are a member will you stay that way?

Yes i,m a member, any thing to help fishing, cannot understand anyone not wanting to join, i think and this will sound daft but people are just too tight fisted to part with just £20 thinking its not going where it should be going, amazing, ck

No point, I fish in Wales and the Angling Trust will not accept membership from clubs or anglers based in Wales and cannot represent them.

My club has just joined Fish Legal as our ACA sub has expired. Fish Legal is the replacement for the ACA and is open to all, however if you live in England you have to join the Angling Trust first and consequently pay a lot more for it.

Sewinbasher stated my case too... but I wouldn't join them anyway as the new leadership wants otter "controls" to preserve/protect 'specimen' coarse fish.
Sorry I would favour Tarka every time.
Anglers should all be in favour of conserving the whole ecology of river systems. We have lost 30 years of goodwill. So I hope the AT fizzles out in 2010.

I am a member and my club is also a member. Angling deperatly needs a voice and I don't see any other contenders.
