Great idea for starters. Not sea-trout but a cracking initiative.

Ever fancied trying your hand at fly fishing? Well now’s your chance! Next week the Environment Agency kicks off its season of free fishing events in Cornwall with a special session for budding trout anglers at Siblyback Lake near Liskeard.
Aimed at both adults and juniors, the events are held at popular fishing venues and include special introductory sessions for youngsters during the school holidays The first, next Saturday (April 26), is an ‘Introduction to fly fishing for Adults’ so book early to avoid disappointment.
Newcomers can book a place for a session with a qualified coach who will provide them with advice and tuition. All equipment, including tackle, is provided free of charge. If you are lucky enough to catch a trout you can even take it home with you. The events are part of a national Environment Agency initiative to encourage people to take up the sport, and participants on the day will not need to buy a rod licence.
Numbers for the events will be limited so you need to book in advance: places will be allocated to beginners to the sport and on a first come first served basis.
