First Fish!
Up to 4 Persons 9.30am – 4.30pm. £160 per person
This is a one-day course here at Little Saxbys Farm on the Kent/Sussex borders designed for beginners and improvers alike to take you through all aspects of fishing for trout with a fly.
We cover everything from tackle to tactics, give a good grounding in the basics of casting a fly rod or more advanced techniques for the improvers and ensure that everyone catches a fish or two, all in a fun, controlled and undemanding environment.
All you need to bring is: a packed lunch, a pair of (sun) glasses to protect your eyes, gumboots and waterproof clothing. You don’t need to bring any tackle as all tackle is provided, although you are welcome to bring your own and have it thoroughly checked over if you would prefer.
Please arrive in time for a 9.30am start with coffee and an introductory talk.
The Course covers:
- Basic safety.
- How to assemble the tackle.
- Casting including overhead, roll and double haul.
- Entomology (fly life – what trout eat, etc)
- Hooking, playing and landing the fish.
- Catch and take home up to 4 fish each.
- How to prepare your catch for the table.
Tea and coffee is provided, but lunch is not included so we would ask you to please bring a packed lunch with you.
Courses are only run during the best fishing months of late-March to mid-June and late-September and early October.
The one day Trout Fishing Course can also be given in the form of a Gift Voucher
