Our Objectives
The Tenchfishers are a diverse group of anglers whose fishing encompasses a special interest in Tinca Tinca, the most prized and popular coarse fish our waters.
We have a vested interest in protecting and encouraging the distribution of this sporting species and elsewhere on this site you can read of the projects undertaken by out National Tench Heritage Association.
We strive to have a “voice” so that we may best protect the fishing opportunities for our members.
The Tenchfishers would certainly present their views if we become aware of a mixed fishery revising its stocking policy to a carp mono-culture for example. We will deal with these matters in an intelligent and positive manner to the benefit of all angling participants.
The group gives back to the angling community and are investing in member coaches to assist clubs with their Junior sections and help to set up Tench Teach Ins. We will continue to enjoy an excellent relationship with top day ticket fisheries and clubs across the country, many of whom provide us with exclusive tench fishing opportunities for our members.
We will continue to offer an excellent experience for our membership, set within boundaries that remain polite and constructive in all our interactions and communications. We anticipate the same in return.
The Tenchfishers will continue their liaison and support of the Angling Trust and Environment Agency to represent our favoured species and others, supporting the welfare of the sport overall.
