The purpose of the Federation of Welsh Anglers is to promote, sustain and develop angling in Wales.
The FWA is recognised by the Welsh Assembly Government as a communicating body for angling in Wales, representing around a hundred and fifty thousand anglers in the principality, many of whom are members of clubs affiliated to their national governing bodies. The FWA plans the introduction of a membership/affiliation scheme for early 2008, incorporating all of the angling industry,(tackle dealers, fishery owners, charter boats, etc.) and appealing to all who fish in Wales.
Besides uniting angling interests and organisations in Wales, one role of the FWA is to create working ‘partnerships’ with, government, government agencies and other organisations, resulting in wide-ranging benefits for angling, conservation and society in general.
The FWA website www. fed-welshanglers.co.uk will be a major focus for angling and all angling related issues within Wales and, provided with an active link into the WTB’s Fishing website, will ensure an all- encompassing source for the whole of angling in Wales The FWA through its coaching body and working collaboratively with the other angling bodies within the UK, will endeavour to offer the opportunity for everyone who wishes to do so to experience fishing at first hand, and, in so doing, securing the future of angling for generations to come.
