4-Week In-Depth Pole Fishing Course
Every month we teach a different fishing method. Register below to join our current course and begin your child's angling journey.
This structured 4-week course is designed for juniors who already have a basic understanding of pole fishing and are ready to take their skills to the next level. Focusing on three specialised techniques—margin fishing, shallow fishing, and paste fishing—this course teaches juniors how to target larger carp more effectively using pole setups. Each week builds on the previous session, combining theory, hands-on rig work, feeding strategy, and fish-handling skills. The final session brings all techniques together in a fully practical fishing experience, capped with an assessment and certificate of completion.
