A fishing day out for all the family at New Mills Trout Fishery near Brampton. This is a great place to catch your first trout and learn the basic skills of fishing. We'll teach you how to cast a fly and all the techniques that should help you to land one of New Mills monster fish.

A great start for aspiring young fly fishers. Bob and Vera Carlson will take you through all the basic steps to ensure you catch that all important first fish. They'll show you how to cast, how to fish different methods and how to land your first trout.

Homework will have to wait! This is an evening session for aspiring young fly fishers held at New Mills Trout Fishery - and an action packed introduction into the sport. (Don't forget to tell Mum to have the oven ready for when you get back.)  You'll get two, very full, hours of top class instruction from our resident instructors. They'll show you how to put the tackle together, how to cast a fly - and most importantly, how to play and land that big fish.

A girls night out with a difference!  And a chance for mums and daughters to prove what we've known all along -  that women really do make better anglers. Come along for an informal evening's instruction with all the tackle and equipment provided. We'll start the session with basic casting skills and hopefully end it with your first fish on the bank - and guarantee a lot of laughs in between!.
