Society has connected with the outdoors and nature during the Covid-19 pandemic. Fishing has seen people of all ages trying it for the first time and many reconnecting for its physical benefits and mental well-being. Over a million people go fishing in the UK each year. FishPal helps to increase participation in fishing, particularly amongst the under 25 age group, by making the sport more accessible through its easy to use website.
