The 2024 event was held on the first weekend in October.  We had 25 entrants, lots of fish were caught, a lot of good sized Bass, our event record was broken with a 62 cm Bass caught (see picture above).  

The social side of the event was a great success, 3 evenings of food and drink.  Many of our returning competitors say that as well as the excellent and varied fishing one of the big attractions of returning year after year is to meet old friends and make new ones.

Some pictures from this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next year The UK Saltwater Flyfishing Festival will be held from 25th to 28th September, based and hosted around the historic fishing harbour of St Mawes, Cornwall.

​

Participants will fish from the shoreline, using the many beaches and rocky areas where sport is to be found, using your your fishing skills and watercraft. The fish being returned unhurt to the water with catch and release. A full social programme is included and there are some superb prizes on offer.

 

Accommodation is available to suit all budgets and there will also be a ‘training’ day included in the entry price, featuring some of Cornwall’s top guides

The 2025 festival will feature a variety of training clinics. There will also be detailed local information, available only to festival participants, of the best local marks and how these vary with tide and wind conditions.
