Held every year, our junior, cadet and youth canal angling championships are part of the largest national celebration of young people’s fishing. Our aim is to make sure participants have a fun day, land a few fish, learn something new and are inspired to come back again.

In association with the Angling Trust and sponsored by Angling Direct, with additional support from Colmic, Guru and Reuben Heaton, the 2020 championships made for a fantastic weekend of fishing on the Shropshire Union Canal.
Thank you to everyone who took part and their families, and special thanks to all the Let's Fish! coaches, clubs and volunteers who helped run the event.
