Junior Angling Event - Picture Gallery
This event was aimed at getting young people interested in fishing in their local area. Efforts were made to teach the families who attended about how to be a sensitive angler and care for the fish they were catching. Sawbridgewoth Angling Society have now doubled the number of Junior members they have as a result of the day!
