Club teaching kids to fish and 'find peace'

On a gloomy and soggy Sunday, you can find fisherman Kieron Banks by the River Kent with a grin on his face.

He's known by many folk of Kendal in Cumbria for his extensive knowledge of the riverbanks and what lurks beneath.

Kieron's 30 years of experience on the River Kent and teaching his children inspired him to set up a free fishing club for youngsters.

The 43-year-old said he wanted to "get kids outdoors" after fishing helped him "escape estate life" and provided "a sense of peace".

The Kendal Kingfishers Fishing Club, which started in March 2024, invites children and their parents or guardians to come along to the riverbank.
