ROADFORD Lake will be hosting a new attraction on Saturday, March 9 and hope to snag a few fishermen — both novice and advanced.

The South West Fly Fair, organised jointly by South West Lakes Trust and the Westcountry Rivers Trust, is set to become a regular feature in the trout fisherman's calendar in anticipation of the new season.

It includes the opportunity to watch and learn from some of the best fly-tiers in the region, brush up on casting skills, see and try the latest tackle and listen to a series of guest speakers.

 With free entry and with a variety of activities on offer the event is definitely one not to be missed!

The fair will run from 2pm to 7pm and will include trade stands, fly tying demonstrations and clinics and the opportunity to learn from the experts and have a go yourself.

Experts at the event will include Mike Weaver, Russ Symons, Simon Kidd, Charlies Jardine, Chris Ogborne and Gary Champion.
