Youth Fishing Events – Call for Volunteers

This year we are working with the Tweed Foundation to promote fly fishing for young

people and will be appealing to regular experience anglers, including syndicate hire

members, for volunteers willing to help work alongside the Tweed Foundation Education

Officer and Whiteadder staff for a few hours on a limited number of free Youth Event Days.

Please email us if you can help.
