After five very successful years The UK Saltwater Flyfishing Festival will be held from 1st to 4th October, 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 pro guides

The 2020 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. .

Throughout the festival lunch will be arranged at various local pubs so everyone can get together over a drink and some food to discuss the mornings happenings.

For those that enjoy fishing from a boat, or who fancy grilling a local guide for some more knowledge, Austen Goldsmith  and his boat Zen 2 will be available for hire throughout the festival.
