Although the agency has worked with the publisher on projects such as Reel Life magazine and a number of Where to go Fishing guides, the annual magazine work was put out through a tender, even though it is only published once a year and comprises 24pp.
Eight versions of the magazine will be produced for different geographic regions and will be sent out to a total of 750,000 licence holders.
The magazines will be printed by Northampton-based Belmont Press and the first issue will go out in April, when licences are renewed.
