November 2011 - Teaching Young Carers at Lake John, Essex

 At the end of October, WAC coaches Tony & Dave took a trip to Lake John in Essex.  The event was held to give a group of Young Carers from central London a well deserved break in which they could try their hand at Angling.  Lake John is well renowned as a prolific venue and it wasnt long before everyone was getting to grips with their first fish, with good size bream and perch being caught at a healthy rate.

August 2011 - Effort = Reward!

Well done to Ross, in his 2 hour session he landed 25 fish on a 3 metre whip rod.  The best catch of the session came by taking on board the advise given and  keeping the whip rod out of sight using the lilly pads as cover.  The effort was rewarded when  this lovely Crucian Carp was lured into making a mistake.  A great catch of  a notoriously shy feeding fish.   Just goes to show that even...
