Our next Junior Ranger event is Saturday 11th December 2021 with three sessions
Session 1: How to rig up basic fishing lines and care for fishing gear
Session 2: Catching live bait
Session 3: Fishing
Junior Rangers are encouraged to bring their own hand lines and hooks and sinkers in their own fishing bag, change of clothes and a towel.
Any queries feel free to contact me. A program will be prepared in the next couple of weeks. Please note those Junior Rangers that have completed an application form do not need to complete another instead just confirm attendance and update any new contact information.
