This meeting is free to attend and open to all. It is aimed at ALL freshwater anglers, Coarse and Game.

Plus updates from key organisations in your area.

How do we improve the fishing on the River Kennet ?

At the forum we will be exploring and debating the current condition of the River Kennet from an Angling perspective.

To do this we will have an “Expert†panel consisting of:
Martin Salter - Angling Trust
Stuart Keable - Environment Agency
Charlotte Hitchmough - Action for the River Kennet
Del Shackleford - Reading & District Angling Assoc.
Simon Hughes - Thames Water

The members of the panel will give a short presentation of about 5 minutes outlining the work that their organisation is doing to improve the condition of the river and what benefit this may bring to fish stocks and angling. After the presentations we will then take questions from the floor “Question Time†style with Martin Salter acting as Chair. So if you fish the River Kennet and care about it’s fish stocks, then this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved.

It looks like being a fascinating meeting, so if you love angling and live within reach of the venue, make sure you attend.

If there is a specific question you would like to ask at the meeting please let us know well in advance by emailing ian.shepherd@anglingtrust.net
 
The best way to improve the fishing on the Kennet would be to turn the clock back about 30 years.
Before it was made navigable again, before the crayfish plague and before the Otter introduction.
All things under the control of the Environment agency.
