Bob James is about as close to celebrity as the angling world gets - his uncanny knack of catching fish where others fail has made him one of the most successful anglers of his generation. Fortunately for us, he's also a great communicator and the perfect person to help you improve your angling skills. Your day will start with coffee, a tackle talk and an informal QandA session with Bob. Then you'll head out to the riverbank, where you can watch and learn as Bob demonstrates some of his angling techniques. Then you'll break for a cold buffet lunch, and soon it's your turn. You'll tackle up, get a feel for the equipment and grab some last-minute tips before getting started. You'll have the run of three and a half miles of the River Kennet, carriers and side streams at this private fishery, and the chance to catch a great variety of fish including trout, perch, pike, roach, grayling, bream, dace and chub. Bob will be on hand throughout with more help and advice. Happy fishing!
