Angling Training

daniel brydon, qualified paa angling coachOur tackle shop manager, Daniel Brydon, is a qualified PAA (Professional Anglers Association) angling coach. An experienced match angler on rivers, lakes and canals he has a wealth of angling knowledge.

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.

Individual Training

Adults (Beginners, improvers and advanced)

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 - 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.

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.
