Last week I ran the four day beginners course at Frobury Fishery and the venue lived up to its expectations.
The group was from Connexions e2e and were a pleasure to teach. All fished with an enthusiasm that was a joy to share and all caught plenty of fish, including the caseworker Kym Nielsen who caught her first ever fish. Most of the fish were small carp up to about two pounds but some tench and rudd were also caught. The fish seemed to prefer sweet corn despite being offered red maggots and soft pellets, we fed heavilly with red maggots, hemp and pellets and most of the fish were caught on five metre whips. On the last day one of the girls, who already had some experience of angling with her boyfriend, used a rod and reel and caught some carp with a float fished worm.The students and the caseworker have already put some very kind comments on the initial post about this fishery.

This is an ideal venue on which to teach beginners and I wish it was closer to me. Some of the other lakes produce bigger carp and I will be running courses for the more experienced anglers there in the near future.
