Master the Art of Fishing on the Norfolk Broads
Whether you're staying in a riverside holiday home or exploring the waterways on a hire boat, our expert tuition brings the experience to you. We tailor each lesson to your location or arrange a convenient meeting spot, ensuring a smooth and rewarding fishing session.
At Broads Fishing Instruction, the safety and well-being of my clients is paramount. I hold a clear Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate (formerly CRB), available upon request. For any participant under 18, a parent or guardian is required to be present. While there are no specific age restrictions, I trust that parents can assess whether their child is capable of handling fish and small hooks safely.
