We’re excited to share something completely new at Sport Aberdeen. After months of “quiet” development, we’re officially launching our Learn to Fish programme 🎣

You’ve asked for more ways to get active, try something different, and spend time doing something that doesn’t involve a treadmill or a timetable. This is our answer.

Learn to Fish is designed to help you build real skills from the ground up. You’ll cover casting, timing, patience, and that moment where everything suddenly clicks and you realise why people spend hours doing it. Sessions are structured, relaxed, and focused on giving you something you can actually improve at week by week.

And yes, before you ask, we’ve removed the biggest barrier to fishing in the north-east.

No wind. No sideways rain. No freezing hands.

Our controlled environment means the conditions are always perfect. You can focus on learning instead of checking the forecast every five minutes or pretending you’re enjoying it when you can’t feel your fingers.

Whether you’re completely new or you’ve “almost caught something” more times than you can count, there’s a place for you. You don’t need any experience. You don’t even need to pretend you know what you’re doing. Just turn up and we’ll take it from there.

“As a keen fisherman myself, after my first lesson I was hooked…”
Graeme Dale, Sport Aberdeen Interim CEO

We’ve already seen strong interest in early sessions, so if you’ve ever thought about giving it a go, now’s the time.

Learn to Fish classes are now available to book now.

P.s you’ve been fooled! Happy April 1st
