Support For Visually Impaired Fisherman

[davepike222]

I am registered Partially Sighted since birth and had brain surgery for water on the brain about 30 years ago.However I have been a keen coarse fisherman when I was younger and have in the last two years returned to trying fishing again after a break of over 25 years due to the effects of my brain surgery.This effects now to a  limited degree my balance and more exacting manual tasks like tying knots and sometimes unhooking fish.I would dearly love to do more freshwater fishing but these limitations restrict me as I do need some assistance at times.I live in Clacton On Sea Essex and would ideally like to buddy up with someone else maybe with health restrictions as I can do perhaps things physically they cannot do which effects  their ability to fish more often.If anyone knows of anyone or organisations locally who could help or in turn I could help please let me know.

I hope something turns up we used to get a couple of accompanied  anglers down the pond which gave the oppotunity for them to enjoy their hobby . Perhaps getting in touch with the local club or enquiring with social services ? Good luck

Might be an idea to speak to local tackle shop if you still have one, I used to take an old chap out on my boat after I was asked at mine.
