I have been fishing since I was about 5 years old, my father encouraged me and used to take me to the the River Thames at Hampton Court. As I grew older I joined a junior angling club and fished all over the Kent, Sussex, Surrey, counties. I used to visit different rivers, the Mole, Medway, Eden, Thames. Just to name a few. I also visited still waters all over England.

"We are members of Angling For All. We have lessons in the class room at the Riverside Centre Pershore. We are taught by Coach Derek North, he is a P. A. A and N. F. A Coach". "We are also helped by Martyn Evans, he is also a member of the club. Today we have passed our bronze award which we will have printed on our T-Shirts. Today we visited one of our local fishery and we are holding our catch for Derek to photograph. These fish are called Mirror Carp". From left to right- Edd, Joe & Scott

	Hello, my name is Thomas, i am ten years old. "I went fishing in America and caught some Puffa fish and Ihooked an Alligator, I guess this made me want to go fishing. I went fishing in Spain with my Mum and Dad". "When I came back from my holidays I wanted to catch some fish in England and I was not sure of what to do, so my Dad asked Derek North who is a coach, if he would help us. He said yes and I caught my first fish in this country,at Thornleigh Nurseries and this was the biggest. I had a great time and I am going to join Derek's club and learn some more. Thanks Derek! "
	My name is Bryony I am 9 years old and have just started fishing. I have caught some fish with my dad but not many. My dad asked Derek to help me catch some more but first I had to learn to cast properly. After about an hour I was getting good at it. I caught lots of small perch within an hour. Then Derek let me have a go with the long pole, he has. I caught my biggest fish so far "A Skimmer Bream" Thank you for helping me Derek I really enjoyed myself. Ps I think my dad learnt something as well
