Redbrook Angling Club is holding a free coarse fishing taster event for juniors, ages seven to 16, on Saturday, May 12th, 2018.

Following the popularity and success of last year’s event and in the lead up to the long school holidays, Redbrook Angling Club is again holding another set of free taster sessions for any juniors who may wish to take up coarse fishing on a local lake, just outside of Monmouth.

The event run by Redbrook Angling Club is totally free of charge as it has been sponsored by Redbrook Village Trust from funds raised at “Live on the Wye”. It is being held at a local lake with all the equipment, bait and professional tuition provided free of charge for use, so participants only need to bring themselves along.

The event will be run with qualified and insured coaches from the “Young Anglers Project” www.younganglersproject.org.uk, so a Rod Licence or fishing permit is not required.

The sessions are structured, so that supervised tuition will be given in 1&1/2 hour slots at a time for a maximum of up to six participants at any one time, starting at 9am. The spaces are limited and have to be booked in advance with the club.

A limited number of spaces are still available on a first come first served basis to juniors aged six or over, who may be interested in trying fishing, going back to it or learning some new skills.

If you or your children are interested or would like to know more, please contact Ian Childs on 01600 712 558. Leave a message with your name and number, so that they can book you into an available time slot, send you the details and confirm your place.
