Events take place all around the county and kick off with our big opening events for youngsters and families at Bessy Beck and New Mills. That’s followed by everything from masterclasses in fly fishing for salmon and trout, match fishing workshops and fast action predator days. Try something different and join our instructors as they go for pike or mullet on the fly or learn some top tips about specimen hunting for big carp, tench and bream.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from Hardy Greys we are able to offer most of our events at greatly reduced cost - in fact some are even free. And you can be sure that with top names from the Hardy Greys Academy you’ll be fishing right at the cutting edge of the sport.

Most of the events are now posted on the site but do keep checking - new events are still coming in.  Some of these book up fairly quickly so don't delay if you see something that takes your fancy.  And remember you can now book many of the events online.

Hope to see you in May for another fantastic Festival of Fishing in Cumbria.
