What Can I Expect

Gone fishing in Norwich! These fishing courses at Shallowbrook Lakes are especially suited to families and groups. All the teaching you need and lots of lakeside fishing fun for all ages and abilities.

The thing about fishing is that it is a great leveller. Anyone can fish. It's a multigenerational activity that brings families and groups together, for a thoroughly nice day out by the water. You don't need huge amounts of expensive kit to get started in fishing and it's a great hobby for all.

This fishing school specialises in coaching groups of beginners. No previous experience is needed and all the gear will be provided for you and your fellow anglers.

We are offering two different fishing courses for you at this Norwich base. The introductory session gives you a taste of what fishing is all about over the course of a relaxed three hours. If you really want to get into your fishing with a view to perhaps taking it up, the two day courses are for you.

All teaching is by experienced anglers who are members of the Angling Trust Coaching Scheme, whose aim is to open up the experience of learning to fish to be as inclusive as possible. By the end of the courses you should be confident enough to go fishing by yourself.

Shallowbrook Lakes, where these beginner experiences and courses take place, is a friendly fishing club just a 10-minute drive from Norwich city centre. There's secure parking, toilets and refreshment facilities on site.

If you want to learn how to catch fish, these very much family and group-friendly fishing courses in Norwich are for you!
