Fishing is an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, including those with disabilities.

  • fishing is a good way to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life – spending some peaceful time outdoors can give you space to unwind and de-stress;
  • learning something new can give you a confidence boost;
  • fishing in a small group is a sociable activity – you can spend time with people in a friendly space where there is no pressure to chat.
