We are proud of our exciting partnership with leading tackle manufacturer, Hardy, who actively support our important work conserving wild fish and their waters
As dedicated wild fish conservationists, Hardy are proudly committed to protecting salmon, trout and the UK's waterways, for which their partnership with us was established.
In an act of generous support, Hardy kindly donated two exceptional lots to the S&TC Annual Auction 2018 this year, which raised £12,200 for our important work!
