Angling & Coarse Fishing Coaching Lessons - and Gift Vouchers

Coaching at Private Lakes & Fisheries in North Staffordshire

Mick uses various pools in North Staffordshire to coach his customers in the finer arts of catching fish. These pools vary in size and contain a wide variety of coarse fish including carp, roach, and bream.

Fishing Coaching Skills

My tuition and coaching skills are aimed at beginners or fishing novices, but anyone of any age, male, female, ability or skill can contact me for details of my coaching courses.

My expertise is in coarse fishing, mainly pleasure fishing.

For each session all equipment and bait will be supplied. I will teach you how to fish for most coarse fish species mainly on still waters but tuition on rivers and fast moving streams is also available. I can teach you how to use a rod and line, typically known as waggler or float fishing. I can also teach you how to use a feeder rod. This is for holding bait on the bottom of the pool / river bed using a swim feeder or ledger. I can also teach you how to use a Whip or small pole, this being one of the easier ways to learn how to fish.

Whatever you choose to do, I will not only show you how to catch fish, but will also show you how to set up your rod, whip, and pole etc. correctly and how to look after your equipment, and also advise on what type of equipment you require. At the end of the session you will be able to go away with the knowledge that you will be able to set up your equipment correctly on your own and will be ready to start fishing.

Whatever you want to learn I am able to teach you.

  • All tuition and costs are done on a 1-2-1 basis
  • If you want to bring a friend and share the costs that's ok
  • For a full list of charges please contact me.
  • Please note whilst fishing you will be covered third party insurance.

I can not always guarantee you will catch a fish, but I will show you the correct way to fish.
