On Saturday, August 9th, 2014 Leamington Angling Association will be hosting a junior masterclass event at Jubilee Pools in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, near Coventry. It will be an easy-going, instructional event aimed at juniors up to 18 to encourage and help all skill levels – whether you’re looking to learn, polish or hone your skills, ranging from basic whip fishing to advanced rig mechanics and ‘big-fish rigs’, the aim is to cover all aspects, including fish and bank safety. There will be experts on hand, from various tackle companies such as Gardner, Mainline Korda and Dynamite Baits to name a few, all to help create a real-time classroom to teach different disciplines around the venue. Hopefully, there will even be the chance to land a few fish, providing the fish gods are smiling.
