It’s a good idea to have a trial casting lesson away from the distractions of a fishery. This way we can work on the technique and style so that when you turn up at the fishery you will have an idea of what to expect. I find that especially with youngsters, initial excitement falls away if the client is struggling with casting. We must bear in mind that youngsters are underdeveloped in terms of muscles and a gentle introduction to casting is always recommended. I can of course include a session at a fishery with guiding services if that is what you require. This will include fishing and casting, water lore, reading the water, entomology basics. I have links with several local fisheries.
I would recommend that you join a club like Headley Clay Pigeon Club (I am of course biased), you will meet loads of like-minded people and more importantly there is normally an instructor or two around who can help. I suggest you have a 25 ‘Bird’ EBT Essential Basic Tuition Package or a one to one.

Shooting - You need to sign a declaration under section 21 of the firearms act 1968 to be in possession of a shotgun, I will get all students to sign this BEFORE EVERY lesson. To own a shotgun, you must have a valid shotgun certificate issued by the local Police Authority, there is no minimum age for having a shotgun certificate, although you are not allowed to use a shotgun without adult supervision until you exceed the age of 15. Part of our training provision includes the issue of a certificate to confirm that we are happy to have you shooting at our ground and will help individuals applying for a shotgun grant.

Casting Lesson 90 minutes is £45.00 although I can reduce (this pro-rata) to £60.00 if a second person wants a lesson.
Tune Up Lesson (seasoned anglers) for £35.00
Cost for guiding £40.00 per hour including all equipment.
Cost of the fishing should be booked with the fishery however , I can take care of this and seek re-imbursement.
Shooting Lessons should be booked with Headley Clay Pigeon Club (see link under Book Shooting), however due to the current pandemic situation they are not taking bookings currently. COVID UPDATE - HEADLEY CPC IS NOW FULLY OPEN, following the revised advice from Government and CPSA & BASC governing bodies. https://www.cpsa.co.uk/news/coronavirus-covid-19/2021/03/05/return-to-shooting-updated-guidance/5549 and https://basc.org.uk/coronavirus/
