The Angling Development initiative is dedicated to nurturing the skills, confidence, and passion of anglers at all levels. We offer a comprehensive range of coaching plans and training programmes designed to provide essential knowledge and techniques to excel in the sport of fishing.
The Angling Development mission is to promote the sport of fishing as a beneficial and enjoyable activity for people of all ages. By offering structured training and building a supportive community, we aim to develop competent, confident, and enthusiastic anglers.
Our Hooked on Learning CAST Award training programme is perfect for beginners and those looking to enhance their fishing skills. This modular, learn-at-your-own-pace course covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques. Participants will gain a solid foundation in fishing, develop their angling skills, and build confidence in a supportive environment. The course includes a free handbook and a logbook upon completion, and participants get to keep what they make during the sessions.
There are six levels to achieve, each covering various aspects of fishing. These include fish care, the importance of fishing licences and relevant legal information, safety on the bank, and all the skills needed to fish confidently and safely.
The CAST Award training programme uses the Angling Trusts’s Cast Award structure and provides a proven lesson plan with government recognised certification.
The Angling Essentials courses are designed to complement the CAST Award programme by providing entry-level training in various fishing techniques. These courses cover advanced float fishing techniques, feeder fishing, ledgering, specimen angling (carp fishing basics), and match fishing basics. Participants will receive a certificate upon completion and ‘keep what you make’, equipping them with the fundamental skillsets needed to catch fish using these methods.
Our courses are carefully designed to offer step-by-step guidance, ensuring that anglers of all levels can progress at their own pace.
Joining means becoming part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for fishing.
Our training programmes focus on developing practical skills that can be applied in real-world fishing scenarios.
Through hands-on practice and expert coaching, participants gain the confidence needed to enjoy fishing to the fullest.
