Hi my name is Bob Mitchell and I am the resident coach for Cefn Mably Lakes. I am a fully qualified angling coach registered with the Professional Angling Association.

I am able to teach anyone from beginners, with a short course of lessons
giving them basic angling skills, to the more experienced angler who needs
just a little tuition on the finer points. Disabled people can also be catered for.

Tackle is supplied initially, so if you want a taste of angling who knows you
may become HOOKED just like I was.

Why not take a few minutes to browse and see for yourself just what I can
offer.

This section provides information about the tuition services available.
Lessons available:

All clients receive a basic introduction to pole fishing. In addition, our comprehensive course covers the different types of fish and fishing, the setting up of tackle - hooks, floats etc, baits and when and where to use the different types. Catching and safe handling of fish, keep nets and the general recognition and acknowledgement of the rules and regulations of angling.

These can be arranged on a 'one to one' basis where any problem areas can be discussed, and personal skills can be improved on.

These are great fun if there are any doubts about whether or not angling is the sport you wish to take up. All bait and equipment can be provided and either individually, in groups or families can be taken through the principles of fishing in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
