Fishing for Beginners

Booking is essential. To book, email wellbeing@govanhillbaths.com and we’ll let you know when our booking form goes live.

We have arranged two day trips to Springwater Fishery in Ayr, with all transport, equipment and water/snacks provided. Once again, fully qualified and experienced fisherman John from SCFA will be telling and showing you everything you need to know to fish at the fishery (NB: Anything you catch will need to be returned to the water!)

** NB: Unfortunately, due to the length of time these activities will take we cannot afford to provide assistance with childcare or language interpretation. **

Here are some of the things participants have told us about their experiences:“Picking up a new hobby is always exciting and it’s uplifting to do something new. It has enabled us to get into fishing and we now get to go ourselves – instead of lying around in bed I can now go fishing!”

“It was brilliant … we all caught fish!! Great day.”

“By last week I got the reel on myself and this felt like an achievement. It helped my mental health to get out and do something productive.”
