A Confidence Boost Through Fishing

“My son Ethan has absolutely loved being part of Summerhayes Juniors. From his very first session, all of the coaches made him feel welcome, encouraged him, and helped build his confidence. The coaching is fantastic, with everything provided including tackle and bait, so it’s really easy for children to get started. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping every child learn at their own pace while making sure they have fun. Since joining, Ethan’s fishing skills and confidence have grown so much, and he always looks forward to Wednesday evenings. It’s wonderful to see him spending time outdoors, making new friends and learning about fishing and the environment. I can’t recommend Summerhayes Juniors highly enough. If you’re thinking about getting your child into fishing, this is the perfect place to start. Thank you to Gavin and all of the volunteers for everything you do for the children and the local community!”
