Youngsters to learn about fishing

Youngsters from a Leeds primary school will be given the chance to try their hand at fishing during a visit organised by the Environment Agency.

Children from St Nicholas Primary School in Gipton, Leeds, are due to visit Birkwood Fisheries near Wakefield to learn the basics.

The youngsters will be taught about coarse fish and their local habitat, the Environment Agency said.

The group will then visit a fish farm to see how fish are reared.
