The UK’s Largest FREE Angling Event!
The weekend just got a whole lot better...
With the end of the season approaching, it can only mean one thing to the avid angler – the Glasgow Angling Centre Autumn Open Weekend is just around the corner!
This year, Scotland’s largest FREE angling event will be held on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of September, and this one is already looking like it will be the biggest and best yet! The team at GAC will be making a few changes to the format this year, but all your favourite bits and bobs will still be there. Every major tackle brand in the industry will be in attendance with their latest products for 2024 on show and experts on hand to talk you through the latest developments in fishing gear and techniques. There will be FREE fishing tuition for everyone, young and old, catering for all types of angling, from casting lessons to rig building and fly-tying workshops. You can rub shoulders with the most famous anglers in the country like World Champion Fly Casters Scott Mackenzie and Hywel Morgan, TV personalities like Paul Young and many more from all corners of the angling world. Browse through 1000s of extra special offers on all types of fishing and shooting gear. You can even pick up a freebie by simply pre-registering your attendance on the fishingmegastore.com website!
A mecca for dedicated anglers, people travel to the GAC from all over the UK and even further afield and it is easy to see why. There is more to see and do for the keen fisherman than any other show can offer. With over 30 years in the trade, they know exactly what anglers want to see and that’s why they have hundreds of rods and reels set up and on display for you to touch and try. You can have a go with any fly rod you like on their bespoke casting pool or even use the nearby canal basin if you want to try a Salmon fly rod – by far the best way to make sure you have chosen the best tool for your needs be it from Hardy, Greys, Wychwood, Sage, Daiwa, Mackenzie, Orvis, Guideline, Shakespeare, Vision or any one of the dozens of top rod brands in stock. The UK’s biggest range of angling apparel and waders line the walls of the clothing section from floor to ceiling with a selection from Simms, Fox, Scierra, Airflo, Vass, and many more. A huge selection of fishing flies like no other from top manufacturers like Fario Fly, Fulling Mill, Grando, Craig Barr and Caledonian Flies, gives you the perfect opportunity to restock those depleted fly boxes in preparation for the season ahead with the latest must have patterns.
