I was wondering about the popularity of fishing in the UK and the overall imagine of fishing and anglers. I am probably not searching well enough but are there any events that would promote this sport especially with the younger generation?
It seems to me that there is a lot of money pouring through fishing in the UK in general but I dont see any events being organised.
Main reason I am asking is because I have friends back home who are organising events for youngsters, show them how to put together rod, tie a hook, cast etc. It is very popular and its sponsored by brands such as Fox. Mind you Fox must have MUCH lower profit back home than over here.
Overall I feel like angling in the UK is being very "introvert" all together. It seems to be a privileged hobby of few and does not seem to have any interest in expending and making it more popular. On the other hand though there have been many threads on this forum discussing why is angling not more popular and why are not youngsters interested.
So my question is, are there such events? If there would be such events, do you think it would generate enough interest?
