My name is Ammar and I’m 13 years old. This is the story of my first two years of active involvement in fishing, and I can’t wait for the next two years to come around either.
In the historic 1981 Division Two National Championship, held on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, National Federation of Anglers President Joe Betteridge welcomed anglers to what was a momentous occasion.

He wouldn’t know it, but his fishing ambitions were to be very much linked to the decision by SOTAS to get involved with the Let’s Fish! programme.
