Angling Tips

Narc working with a range of partners developed tackle tips leaflets to assist anglers at hotspots where gear is commonly lost. We developed the approach to be more proactive in trying to minimise tackle loss after identifying these two sites as particular hotspots for angling litter. The tackle tips are also useful for many anging sites along rocky coastlines. We teamed up with the Welsh and Pembrokeshire Federation of Angling Coaches to provide the tips with NARC providing the maps and underwater descriptions.
