I am not surprised in the slightest that there has been no BBC coverage. Why would there be?
Freshwater Angling as a competitive sport is way down the list of priorities. I mean come on, there are other fringe sports like Sailing and Cycling where England also excel, and these are olympic sports, but you never see any coverage other than the Olympics themselves.
Yes, fishing is a big participation sport, but the proportion of us that actually compete is relatively small. Most pleasure (esp. carp) anglers couldnt name the current England team.
I am made up that we as a nation are successful at angling. Will Raison and Emma Pickering are great examples of role models for our young anglers to aspire to. But, I think we need to be realistic about getting non-anglers excited about it. Angling will have to get very smart, and reinvent itself for the TV bosses show any interest.
