Trade urged to back the project to encourage the next generation
Un ambitious project to encourage the next generation of anglers is gaining ground in Spain and the rest of Europe. Launched by Barcelona-based AZ Trading, a leading distributor of fishing tackle to major companies around the world including Relix, Pelagic, Halco Fishing, Black Magic, Sampo, AFTCO, Frichy and Centaur, Kids School has already run courses for 1,000 children up to the age of 12 so far in its inaugural year. Over the next four years, the number of young attendees is expected to exceed 30,000.
The courses not only cover the basics of fishing, but also encourage respect for the waterways and the species that inhabit them. The initiative is the brainchild of Spanish fisherman and member of the International Game Fishing Association (IGFA), Lorenzo Roca, who has become increasingly concerned about the decreasing number of young people practising the sport and the pollution of the fishing environment, mainly from discarded plastic.
