My son and I are relatively new to fishing in general. Sea fishing absolute novices. After spending a few hours with Dave and the others, we have been shown enough to hold our own and fish solo - which we did and caught! This would absolutely not have happened were it not for the session spent learning. Dave was brilliant with my lad, the group were all just a genuine bunch of sound blokes and the whole thing I’d recommend to anyone either in your own, dad and lad, anyone really

Hi, this donation was collected at one of our club competitions from members (Osprey Fly Fishing association) It was donated in memory of our dear friend Steven Smith (Smicko) who sadly took his life in May 2025. We hope this donation will help you in some way through fishing to make someone’s life a little easier. Darren (Osprey FFA)
