For anglers who are parents, there is nothing better than introducing their kids to fishing and seeing them take to it with as much passion as they have. Watching them catch their first fish and learn how to fish is just as, if not more, rewarding than catching fish yourself.
On a recent outing, Andy Waters was fishing with his six-year-old son Isaac on a local gravel pit, with dad Andy fishing for bream during the night, and Isaac targeting the tench during the day.
“He’s been coming along to sessions over the last few seasons, and each time we cover a bit more on how and why we do things.
“We managed six tench between 5lb and 7lb 5oz over the weekend and, at his young age, casting and playing them is tricky, so I still had to help a bit. But each time the alarm screamed off, he was filled with excitement.
“Isaac will be casting soon enough, but for now he’s just enjoying the wildlife and the moment. That’s what it’s all about.”
