Saltwater fly fishing is becoming big in the UK, very big, so much so that St. Mawes, Cornwall is THE place to be from 24th to 27th September for one of the biggest events to hit the game fishing scene for many years: The UK Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival or ‘The Salt’ www.saltwaterflyfishinguk.com
Of all of the UK sea species likely to take a fly the one we all want to connect with is the bass, a true ‘game’ species in every sense of the word – big, bristling, bold, belligerent and brilliant – so get yourself kitted out properly and bag a bass on the fly this summer.
Join Sportfish expert JT and his friend PJ out on the harbour waves as they offer up their top tips and advice for catching bass on the fly in our latest video guide!
The ideal bass rod is a 9’ #8 and the Farlows Saltwater Series Outfit is a great choice if you are looking for a complete package as it comes with an Orvis LA Reel and a RIO saltwater line with backing – it’s a great value for money choice too!
If you prefer to choose your own rod and reel combo then the Sage Salt Rod is a fast loading, high line-speed rod that gives you the confidence to know that you’re ready for anything the salt can throw at you! Couple it with a Nautilus NV Reel for an unbeatable bass fishing outfit

Safety at sea, whether you are afloat or casting from rocks, is paramount so ensure you are properly kitted out with an Englands lifejacket.
