Hands on workshop about casting a fly, tackle, knots, and choosing the right fly to catch trout
About this Event

(open to all ages, junior and adult)

Learn how to fish for the elusive trout in chalk stream or lake.

This workshop will include fly casting lessons (no fish involved!) and an introduction into tackle, knots, and selecting the right artificial fly to imitate the real thing.

Taken by Sir Jeremy Mackenzie, whose sixty years of fishing experience worldwide he is happy to share. All equipment provided – just turn up.

This workshop is combined with 'Riverflies Safari' as they work together to explain the ecology of rivers and how their food webs work. - ie one ticket gives access to both activities which take place in the same place at the same time.

The Riverflies workshop enables you to learn more about what lives in the river: all are potential trout food. The Flycasting workshop will teach you more about the lifecycles and interactions of the organisms in the river.

£5 per child / £8 adult / Family (2A+1/2C or 1A+3C) £20
