Getting Started
Get Fishing is the Angling Trust’s campaign to get more people fishing more often. Each year the Angling Trust fund hundreds of events for all ages and abilities.
Get Fishing angling events are for anyone who wants to get into fishing, get back into angling or find out where to go fishing, who to go fishing with, what to use to start fishing and how to go fishing for the first time.
Our Get Fishing events are perfect for individuals and families looking for beginner sessions where you can learn to fish or just to get back into angling and we accept those of all ages and abilities.
We have qualified coaches and club volunteers on hand for advice and a support team to answer any questions you may have.
Improving your skills
We offer 2 hour teach-in sessions, run by experienced volunteers sharing valuable skills, tips and advice to help improve your own skills.
Sessions will cover the basics of knot and rig demonstrations, table top display and advice with suitable equipment, methods, fish handling, fish-care and a Q&A session.
​
We welcome new, current and non members of all ages, new to angling or experienced, individuals and families. These sessions are limited to numbers and by bookings only.
​
Individual & Team Participation
The Pdac aim to encourage youngsters to participate in individual and team events, this is a great way to engage with other young anglers, Improve communication, self confidence and better relationships with peers.
​
Look out for the team events this year.
​
We also welcome adult members of all abilities to participate in any club matches. these events have a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and it's a great way to make new friends..

This programme is non funded and run by club volunteers, it's vital that we have your support for this to continue each year.
Members and non-members can help by either volunteering to the programme or by donating any second hand tackle. Your donations are passed down to our younger members and anything that is not suitable is sold on at car boots to generate funds for this project.
We also accept cash donations.
