The South West Fly Fair makes a welcome return to Roadford Lake on Sunday 23 February.
The fair is hosted by charity South West Lakes Trust at Roadford Lake, between Launceston and Okehampton. The event is a highlight in the Westcountry’s angling calendar ahead of the new trout fishing season.
The day is made possible thanks to sponsorship from Turrall, Chevron Hackles and Snowbee.
Throughout the day there will be fly tying demonstrations from local and national expert Charles Jardine, with a chance to ‘have a go’, as well as the opportunity to pick up useful tips and valuable advice from other experts.
Other activities include casting demonstrations, fly casting lessons, and a chance to speak to trout, sea and coarse fly fishers.
There will be a live trout cooking demonstration from Gary Champion as well as the opportunity to meet members of fly fishing clubs based at lakes across the South West and find out more about coaching and tuition available in the region – perfect for both newcomers to the sport and experienced anglers feeling a little rusty after the closed season.
Trade stands will be selling new and used tackle and equipment and food and drink will be available at the onsite café.
Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Entry is £7 for adults (£10 on the door) and free for under 18s. Entry includes car parking and a raffle ticket. Tickets are available fromwww.swlakestrust.org.uk/trout-fishing
All attendees to the event will be offered a 10% season ticket discount.
