Fishing for Schools ambassador Marina Gibson stands up for the sport we all love

Marina Gibson, a fly fishing guide who works on the River Test in Hampshire, has spoken to the BBC in this video about her use of social media to encourage more women and young people to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of the sport.

Marina is also an ambassador for the Countryside Alliance Foundation project Fishing for Schools.

Recently, that work has also involved raising awareness of the prejudice that is sometimes faced from other anglers on the river bank.
