Another successful ‘introduction to Angling’ day.
On May 31st Monmouth and District Angling Society entertained several young ladies from the local youth group, ATTIK, of Monmouth, by providing a hands on introduction to fishing on the club’s waters at Treowen. Fishing the ‘little lake’ they all caught fish for the first time in their lives. All were so keen and attentive that they soon became quite competent at casting, baiting hooks, unhooking and handling the fish they caught. Within a few hours some had caught over twenty fish each. At least one young lady became so hooked on fishing from this her first fishing experience that she now fully intends to purchase her licences and take up the sport in future.
Well that’s what it’s all about and makes it so worthwhile, isn’t it?
The venue. Treowen little lake contains a good head of rudd, roach and tench.
Attentive students take some initial tuition
And advice from Hon’ Sec’Peter Brundret and Bob Formaggia.
Then the first cast watched by Phill Robinson
And George Haroun
Learning how to avoid the trees
Getting the hang of it
And a bit more demonstration
Then comes success
And competency
That brings concentration and dedication.
