How Steve & John Dawe created a Tench fishery

In a joint initiative with the Tenchfishers, the Angling Trust welcomes the launch of a new project to promote tench and their availability to anglers in the UK.
Tench Fishing: The Future (TFTF) can trace its roots back to January 2020, where a workshop was held to discuss the current state of tench fishing in England. Attended by the Environment Agency, Institute of Fisheries Management and other key organisations, it was concluded that new efforts could help drive forward a renewed interest in tench, with the goal of securing a brighter future for the species. Taking inspiration in part from the National Crucian Conservation Project, TFTF aims to raise the profile of tench fishing, and encourage fishery managers to consider tench as an option when developing their waters.
To support this, a new knowledge base has been created on the Angling Trust website where detailed guidance can be found on creating a tench-friendly fishery. The campaign aims to:· Educate and share knowledge of tench and tench fishing· Raise the profile of tench fishing· Protect existing tench fishing· Encourage the promotion of tench fisheries· Work with existing national and regional bodies· Encourage appropriate bodies to consider the role of tench as a valuable asset to their fisheries.

The absolute perfect fishery - could only be improved by having a few crucians in there too and I could imagine never fishing anywhere else again. Congratulations on what you have achieved.

I live in Kent and travel to Suffolk and Norfolk to find waters that don’t have king carp , when will fisheries understand the need for tench and crusian only waters
