After the fishing session there will be some pond dipping, an opportunity to learn about the bugs and the fish that live in our waters The day takes place at South Cerney AC's Gillman's Lake, on their Wickwater complex, Wickwater Lane, South Cerney from 10am to 4pm. The sessions last for approximately 30 minutes, with all fishing tackle, bait, and licences provided.
