My name is James Anderson and I am a fully qualified National Federation of Anglers coach. In June 2007 I graduated from Sparsholt College, Hampshire with a BSc in Fishery Management and Aquaculture. In September 2007 I took up the position of Fisheries Course Leader at Otley College, Suffolk where I teach subjects such as fish biology, fishery management and carp farming.

I have been fishing for most of my life and have a huge passion for the sport landing numerous specimen carp in the UK to over 50lbs. Having learnt many skills over the last ten years I have been carrying out angling tutorials since 2007.

The most successful anglers never leave anything to chance and do everything they can to gain success. I will pass on the knowledge that will enable you to succeed and gain consistent results. And by doing so help you to enjoy your fishing more, after all that's what it's all about.

I have completed a National Federation of Anglers level 2 certificate in coaching angling, which means, I have attended a good practice in child protection course, I have been checked by the criminal records bureau, I hold a valid first aid certificate and I hold appropriate insurance cover for the purpose of coaching angling.
