International Casting Champion and Celebrity Angler Hywel Morgan has pledged his support to the Campaign For The Protection Of Welsh Fisheries.
Hywel Morgan is the son of legendary Welsh fishing guru Moc Morgan, he first wet a line at just two and a half years of age and spent his early years fishing the Rivers Teifi and Ystwyth for wild brown trout and sea trout. Since then he has fished extensively throughout the UK, Europe, Australia and in the USA. Hywel is responsible for a string of very successful angling dvd’s and presents various angling TV programmes on Discovery Real Time, Horse & Country TV and S4C.
Having grown up in his father’s shadow, Hywel decided to make a name for himself and started competing in casting competitions. He started at local country fairs, then progressed to the CLA Game Fair where for three successive years he won every event. As a result he was asked not to compete any more so that others could have a chance of winning… and all this before he was sixteen years old. He then turned to the British Casting Association and started to compete at British, European and World casting championships. During this time he amassed the following titles:
- World Games Accuracy Casting Champion
- European Distance Casting Champion
- European Silver Medallist (Accuracy)
- 14 British casting records
- 6 times All Round British Champion
- Over 100 British Individual titles
- World Record holder for multiple casting (66 rods cast simultaneously)
Hywel guides on a lot of waters in Wales and this venture is very close to his heart. If you want further information please visit his web site: http://www.hywelmorgan.co.uk
Needless to say we are absolutely thrilled to have him on board. Hywel’s contribution is a fantastic boost to the campaign and speaks volumes in terms of the level of support for our work. Speaking to him recently, Hywel had this to say:
“Anything that secures the future of angling is very important, this venture is one that must succeed, we need to make sure that the fishing in Wales is protected for future generations as we as anglers are only guardians”
Here, Here Hywel ! – We look forward to working with you
Thanks for your support – The Campaign Team
