Fishing Lessons

They say learning the basics of rods, lines and casting off is relatively easy, but it takes a lifetime of fishing to become a master. Knowing where and when to fish, which rod, which line and which bait to use takes years of experience and lots of skill. Your tutors have all this in bucketloads and will be only too willing to impart some of their fishing knowledge!

Yes. Even if you have never even held a rod before, you can learn to fish with these experiences. Sessions can also be geared to your level, so if you're a keen angler who wants to perfect their fly fishing technique that works too.

No. Rods, lines, bait and nets are all included, along with expert tuition. If you do have your own tackle, you can discuss when booking your date whether it's suitable to bring along if you need help with your set up.

For these experiences any licences that might be needed are included in the cost of the voucher (along with tackle, tuition and any boating costs). If you want to take up fishing for yourself, have a read of our informative blog article that tells you all about UK fishing licences .

It depends what sort of fishing you're doing and where, but yes, in general you can! There are usually sensible limits of maybe two fish per person, so you could well be enjoying the freshest trout supper you've ever had after an IntotheBlue fishing experience!

The traditional image of an fly fisher is tweed jacket, waders and hat, but don't worry, clothes you'd usually wear for being outdoors will be fine! Wellies might well be useful depending on how much it's rained recently and where you fish. If in any doubt, get in touch with the fishing school before the day of your lesson.

Of course, our fishing coaches know their beats like the back of their hands, but some days the fish just aren't biting. The anglers will use their expert knowledge of the area and, according to the season and weather conditions, select the best are to fish on the day, but catching the slippery blighters isn't guaranteed!

Lessons will go ahead in most weathers, except perhaps when it's windy (waterproofs are sometime provided for you). Anglers are hardy folk who often fish in the pouring rain, very early morning or just after a rain storm when it's all muddy. Find out why, in our blog piece about the best weather to fish in .

Absolutely. The aim of these sessions is to get you fishing and give you an idea of what sort of rods, lines and baits are used to catch which fish and when. It's a great grounding for you to continue your fishing if you really get ('scuse the pun) hooked on fishing after your experience.

Yes! You'll need to check each individual page for their rules and regulations on age, but in general fishing lessons are suitable for around 12 years old and upwards. Under 18s will need to be accompanied by a participating adult, so it's a great day out for all the family together!
