The Itinerary
For The Day: We start at 9.30am and you will be met at
the local inn and taken down the winding country lanes to the lakeside log cabin with all
facilities.
Coffee will be served, followed by a
briefing by the lake and then a quick demonstration of the casts and tactics most likely to
succeed on the day.
Those of the party who fish regularly go off
to try their hand, while the less adventurous will have a chance to practice under the watchful eye
of Tim, your Instructor. He will take everybody to a suitable place to catch a
fish.

by more fishing until 4.30 when tea will be served and the catch weighed in.
To make this a fun day out, there will be
prizes for 'the best novice' and 'the best experienced fisherman', 'the biggest fish' and the
'smallest fish'.
After this you can carry on fishing 'til
dusk or leave happy and contented.

refreshments, lunch, permits and tuition as required.) Reserve Your Place On This
