Tom's story

asd_success_aalpsnorth

"John, who is a member of staff, organised for me to go fly fishing and have lessons.  We went and I learned very quickly how to cast the line out, so we then tried catching one. Although it was very cold, me and John were adamant that I would catch one and bring it home."

- Tom, young person
