Angling Training
Sarah Thomson (Shop and Fisheries Manager) is a qualified ADB Level II Angling Coach plus we have other Level II Licensed Angling Coaches who freelance at the Fishery. All coaches are experienced anglers on all types of waters and have a wealth of angling knowledge, we pick the coach that best suits your needs.
Coaching can provide a vital overview of the sport whilst instilling the need to respect and care for the lake, environment and fish.
We can provide training for beginners or current anglers who would like to enhance their knowledge and therefore give themselves more options when fishing.
Training
Adults (Beginners, improvers and advanced)
- 2 hours - £40.00
- 3 hours - £60.00
- 4 hours - £70.00
- 5 hours - £80.00
Additional Intermediate and Advanced courses can also be organised to help teach new fishing techniques. These provide valuable hints and tips from the local and national experts, coupled with hands on tuition and training.
Juniors (we would suggest that young anglers are over 6 years old).
Juniors - One to One Coaching
The initial session with a qualified coach would be for 2 hours and cost £25.00 which would include a day ticket and bait (Environment Agency rod license at an additional cost).
Juniors - Groups of 2–3 young anglers
The initial session with a qualified coach would be for 2 hours and cost £15.00 per angler which would include day tickets and bait (Environment Agency rod license at an additional cost).
Schools
Some schools hold activity weeks and incorporate a fishing trip within this. Daniel can offer 2 ½ hours tuition (spilt through the day) for an additional cost of £40.00. Along with a chat about health and safety, he will talk through different methods, shot patterns, the importance of feeding etc and put each angler on the right track before returning to them later on in the day. We can also provide hand outs.
The best option is to have an angling coach for the day which we can offer for school groups of 10 upwards. £15 per angler includes fishing, bait, equipment hire and coach for the day. EA Rod Licenses would be an additional £3.50 for a day license and £5 for an annual junior license
Bespoke Training
We are able to produce a tailor made day's training session. For more information on tailored training please contact us via email at sarah@barfordlakes.co.uk and we will see what we can do.
On the main site at Barford we also have a specially adapted Training Lake, which is very well stocked with small carp, brown goldfish, roach and rudd, and provides an excellent platform for any learning angler - it's a bite a chuck - and we only charge £2.50 per day ticket.
