A FISHING club is holding a free taster event for juniors later this month.

Redbrook Angling Club is holding a free coarse fishing taster event for juniors on Saturday 21st May.

Following the popularity and success of last year’s event and in the lead up to “National go fishing month” and the long school holidays, the club is again holding another set of free taster sessions for any juniors who may wish to take up coarse fishing on a local lake, just outside of Monmouth.

The event run by Redbrook Angling club is totally free of charge as it has been sponsored by Redbrook Village trust from funds raised at ‘Live on the Wye’. It is being held at a local lake with all the equipment, bait and professional tuition provided free of charge for use, so participants only need to bring themselves along.

The event will be run, with qualified; CRB checked and insured coaches from the Young Anglers Project, so a Rod Licence or fishing permit is not required.

The sessions are structured, so that supervised tuition will be given in one hour and 90 minute slots at a time for a maximum of up to six participants at any one time, starting at 9am. Spaces are limited and have to be booked in advance with the club.

A limited number of spaces are still available on a first come first served basis to juniors aged six or over who may be interested in trying fishing, going back to it or learning some new skills.

To find out more, contact Ian Childs on 01600 712558 by Monday 16th May.
