Show Notes
In this episode if the Lure Fishing Podvast i chat with David Lyons from Tackling Minds. Tackling minds was formed in February 2020 David Lyons was inspired to start Tackling Minds, as he had suffered from past mental health problems, and fishing played a vital role in him managing his illness. He claims that if it wasn’t for fishing, he doesn’t think he’d be here to tell his story.
David now wants to pass on his knowledge, gained from his own experiences, to show other people how fishing can benefit them too. And so, sitting on the bank with his rods in his hands, Tackling Minds was born.
Tackling Minds aims to get people, from all walks of life, into fishing. Be it, Mental Health, Social Deprivation, addiction and recovery, disabilities, Families and Long-Term Health. The work Tackling Minds has done so far is amazing. The NHS now prescribes fish as a treatment for depression on the NHS as a direct result of Tackling Minds. This is a lovely conversation with a great guy very worth a listen.
