Hibdon Fishing 101 gives you access to their combined century of award winning fishing experience. The Hibdon’s professional and extensive knowledge is now available to the public through these private lectures.

Students at the Hibdon’s School of Fishing will find the private lectures and round table learning environment refreshing.

In addition to the wealth of information you will receive during this unique weekend, you will also be eligible to win a day of fishing with a Hibdon (winner will be randomly selected at the end of the course). You will get to experience the lessons in action and ask the questions you have always wanted answered.
