Junior Coaching on the Tiverton Canal

Join Summerhayes Juniors for a dedicated junior coaching session on the Tiverton Canal, a classic canal venue that’s ideal for learning traditional coarse fishing skills in a calm, unhurried setting.

Canal fishing teaches patience, accuracy, and watercraft — and this session is designed to help young anglers develop those skills step by step. With steady flows, defined margins, and predictable features, the Tiverton Canal is perfect for beginners while still offering plenty of opportunity for more confident juniors to refine their technique.

Our qualified coaches provide hands-on, individual guidance throughout the session, covering methods such as whip fishing, pole fishing, and light waggler setups. Juniors will learn how to fish accurately, control a float, feed effectively, and understand how fish behave in canal environments — all while enjoying time outdoors in a safe, supportive atmosphere.

Whether it’s a first-ever catch or the foundations of future match fishing, this coaching session helps young anglers build confidence, independence, and a real understanding of canal angling.
