Angling Events for Beginners Summer 2005

Why not give fishing a try?

A series of one day angling sessions led by experts will be held throughout Ireland during the summer of 2005. Each session will run from 11am to 4pm. Each session will begin with a talk on safety, the environment, and good waterside manners. It will concentrate on instruction in specific types of angling appropriate for each particular location - sea, coarse, game.

After lunch (which can be purchased at most locations or bring your own) there will be an opportunity to get hands on experience with rods, tackle etc. and weather permitting demonstrations / fishing on suitable waters.

There is no charge for instruction and numbers are limited on a first come / first served basis. Booking form is available at the back of this brochure.
