⭐️Groundbreaking ⭐️ Tackling Minds, Angling Direct, and Anglia Ruskin University have been involved in a number of projects to research the relationship between recreational fishing and mental health. In 2022, they conducted a survey of approximately 1,900 UK adults online. The study found that, of those people who said they participated in recreational fishing, significantly fewer stated that they suffered from an anxiety disorder (16.5% versus 26.4%), had attempted suicide (7.5% versus 13.2%), and engaged in deliberate self-harm (10.4% versus 20.6%) compared to those who do not fish. #fishing #socialprescribing @NASPTweets #mentalhealthsupport #MentalHealthAwareness #angling #greensocialprescribing @ActiveLancs @GreaterSport @getfishing @environmentagency @anglingdirect – at United Kingdom

Birds use baits for fishing and this behavior has been reported in several species. This one is a heron, using bread as fishing bait. [read more: buff.ly/3yRj6Pu] [📹: buff.ly/3RPQBKE]

Tested myself with a stint on the River Thames last week. Caught this beautiful catfish after just 30 minutes. #RiverThames #London #Fishing #Angling #Catfish #River #RiverFishing #FolloForFolloBack #heatwave #Rod #Reel #Bait

£40 million from @WelshGovernment to cut the pollution in Welsh rivers - including the River Wye. Today’s report shows that the Wye has the highest amount of phosphate from rural land use - 72% - and that the pollution has cost Herefordshire £316 million of investment.
