McKenzi Whittaker, pictured, was one of hundreds of people to try out the pastime in National Fishing Month.

The five-year-old caught this carp in Kippax, near Leeds, when she took part in the Angling Trades Association’s Take a Friend Fishing project.

The group said: “It’s a hugely enjoyable way to strengthen relationships and it often leads to lasting participation in angling.”
