Guided Angling Coaching FAQs
Is this only for fishing guides, or also for angling coaches? ▾
Both. Clubnest is built for professionals offering guided trips and one-to-one or group angling coaching (carp, fly, predator, coarse).
Can clients pay a deposit instead of the full amount? ▾
Yes. Set deposits per service, collect the balance later, and issue refunds or credits if plans change.
Do you send automatic reminders and trip info? ▾
Confirmation, reminders and packing lists are sent automatically. Add meeting points, maps and custom notes for coaching days and guided trips.
Can I track client preferences and catches? ▾
Yes — keep notes on targets, experience, gear and previous results to tailor future sessions.
How do payments and refunds work? ▾
Payments run through Stripe with instant receipts. You can refund, reschedule or issue credit in a couple of clicks.
