Saturday coaching sessions: 

Every second Saturday from Mid-May to September we run coaching sessions at Marsh Farm. There are two groups: 

  • The Start2Fish programme is perfect for youngsters starting out in fishing.. We provide all the tackle and bait – all you need to do is come along and give it a go! Catch your first fish, feel the thrill of a strong tench pulling on your pole, learn about baits and tactics. The coaching team this year will be led by Kevin Holcombe, fully qualified Level 2 coach and well respected local all-round angler.

Coaching is tailored to your individual skill level and the team is led by Trevor Haskell.
