Jodie Kidd urges families across the UK to give fishing a try this summerThe Environment Agency has launched a campaign calling on people to try out fishing this National Fishing Month (24th July - 30 August 2021) ![]() Jodie Kidd, the model and racing driver is urging all families to ‘give fishing a try’ as part of National Fishing Month to beat the boredom of the school holidays and learn a new skill. National Fishing Month has released more than 250 free angling events across the country. Steps have been taken to improve inclusivity, with a calendar that features family-friendly, women-only and wheelchair-accessible events. Fishing has surged in popularity since the pandemic, and has seen increased interest from women, a recent campaign by the Environment Agency profiled women anglers and the benefits fishing can bring to all. Freedom to fishWith many holidays cancelled this year, families are looking for things to do closer to home. A recent OnePoll survey for the Angling Trust revealed that a quarter of people (26%) have enjoyed spending more time outdoors since the pandemic because it gives them ‘a sense of freedom’ and allows them to entertain the kids (17%). Of those keen to give fishing a try, (33%) say it provides an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. As part of National Fishing Month, Jodie Kidd enjoyed a fishing lesson with her son and Angling Fishing Coach Kevin Holborne. Jodie said:

Last year, the Environment Agency sold 1,019,723 individual freshwater rod licences to adults living in England, compared to 882,989 in the previous year 2019/20, an increase of 16%. This boom in sales has allowed the Environment Agency to fund even more vital restoration work to protect fish stocks, increase biodiversity, create and restore over 3,000 hectares of fisheries habitat, and sustain a healthier water environment. Thanks to rod licence income, the Environment Agency and its partners improved over 1,700km of rivers between in 2019/20.
