FLY FISHING FOR NOVICES
Stithians Lake, Wendron
10.00 – 16.00
Come and try your hand at FREE fly fishing for trout with expert tuition in the beautiful setting of Stithians Reservoir near Redruth.
Because we want you to master this skilled form of fishing and, hopefully, catch something to take home for your tea, numbers are limited to 16 to allow for individual tuition by our qualified instructors.
There will also be the opportunity to do some pond-dipping afterwards to see what food the trout eat naturally, so bring your net if you have one.
Wear suitable footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather on the day, bring a pair of eye glasses or sunglasses for protection of your eyes (although safety glasses will be available if needed) and bring a packed lunch and hot drink.
Book early, by phoning Kirstie on 01872 273939 x 203, to find out where and when to meet.
Leaders Annie & Gary Champion (AAGAI master)
Organised for Out & About Club (11-14yr olds ONLY) with support from the Environment Agency and South West Lakes Trust.
