ANGLING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Fishery is for obvious reasons (business and community) keen to encourage young people to get out and enjoy the outside environment - and to put something on the table. We have generous discounts for young people (they are free with an adult) and when two people between the ages of 16 and 18 go fishing it is the same price as a single adult. We also endeavour to ensure that young people get fair access to weekend boats. In additon we have the young persons club night, the Cormorants, administered by Alisdair Mair and assistants on Tuesday nights during the summer (Wednesdays for fly tying in the winter). All coaches and helpers are suitably qualified and have had the relevent checks and the cost is minimal. The Youth National takes place on the Lake during the last weekend in October. The Lake is host to the Youth International in July this year. This year there are 5 Menteith Cormorants in the National Team.
