So, you're keen to learn to fish or curious to try out fishing but not quite sure how to start. Join us at this upcoming Let's Fish! event.
About this Event

This event is supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery

Learn to fish with our team of professionally qualified and licensed angling coaches. All bait, equipment, permits and licence are provided. You'll be taught the basics of fishing tackle, how to correctly hold a pole, bait the hook, recognise bites, land and unhook fish and much more. We'll also advice on best value for money equipment to help you get started on your own and point you in the direction of a suitable local club when you are ready for it. All you need to do now is to book in and turn up on time on the day.

Booking information

If you sign up to our national celebration development programme you may return to Let's Fish events as many times as you wish.
