Family Fishing Trip

Following on from the success of The RHS Angling Clubs first fishing trip, on Saturday 22nd June, 2024, students were able to come and fish at the same spot with their families. In total, eight students with their families attended and they got to fish together for around an hour. 

Again the staff at Northolt were superb, guiding the students and their families through the equipment, bait and fishing methods. The weather was kind again and all of the anglers managed to catch fish! The main fish being caught were Roach, Rudd and Perch and the bait of choice: the humble maggot! It was great to see many of our students sharing some of their new knowledge and skills with their families and many of our students had clearly grown in confidence. Some of them were baiting their own hooks and some even managed to unhook their fish and carefully return them to the water. 

The Angling Club will now break for summer but we very much hope to be able to run some more fishing trips next school year and this time the trips will be open to all students in Key Stage 3, so keep a look out come September! 

If you are interested in trying your hand at fishing then please get in touch with Carl and the team at Northolt at https://ghof.org.uk/ They are excellent guides and everything will be supplied by them. They run family angling sessions and individual sessions so please get in touch and head down there over the summer! Happy fishing.
