Imagine instead of compulsory licence fees and voluntary angling trust donations there was one subscription to a national body that catered only for angling - a bit like the RSPB does for birds.
All pollution issues would still be tackled and all other funds would go to improving angling and procuring venues as part of a national club scheme. Struggling local club waters could be subsidised and incorporated into a national ticket along with purchased waters along the way. Think of a national ticket where there was 100 different stretches of river and stillwaters around the land so everyone had options that were local.
Add to this the free waters and day ticket waters being maintained better using the extra funds with regular full time bailiffing and restocking policies. With better free venues there would be more kids as that's where most of us started back in the day.
Would we pay more if there was more back in return? I think we would but would it work, what do you think?
