“The Fishing for the Future project”
Over the last few weeks Borderlines have been working very closely with the Nith Catchment Fishery Trust introducing young people to angling by delivering Angling History and casting sessions in schools and fishing sessions on both lochs and the river Nith itself as part of the trust’s
“The Fishing for the Future project”.
A two year project to introduce young people to fishing and the aquatic environment. Thus raising awareness of aquatic environment, giving young people a better understanding of freshwater and marine environments and of commercial and recreational fisheries.
As well as raising such issues such as sustainability, angling tourism and economic impacts and teaching youngsters how to fish with rod and line.
