First Class Fishing

By Dave Cooper

WELCOME TO FIRST CLASS FISHING

'First Class Fishing', a series of classes for beginners and improvers conducted by Dave Cooper, an all-round experienced angler with a string of good fish and good catches to his credit. The classes are aimed at those who have recently discovered the joys of fishing and need guidance on using tackle correctly and wish to improve their basic skills.

Dave will cover a specific topic at a time in this bi-weekly column. The first section will be really basic with subsequent ones building on the skills covered previously. His aim is to explain things as simply and concisely as possible and will assume that the reader knows absolutely nothing about the subject.

What a cracking few articles...

As a new angler they are superbly informative and hopefully will prove invaluable to me as an "improver"

Will there be more to come?
