As Fred is still chasing tigers in India, I am posting this up for him.
Sunday 9th May 2010 at the Hinckley Island Hotel, A5, Watling Street, Hinckley, Leicestershire. LE10 3JA
The Barbel Society are proud to present ‘Running Water 2010’, a celebration of fishing in rivers.
Following the massive success of last year’s Barbel Show, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, but with a slightly different focus, towards all species that swim in rivers, both here at home and abroad!
This year’s speakers include; •
Pete Reading talking about avoiding Hippo as he tries a river or two abroad, although I guarantee that barbel will get a mention;
Phil Smith (He of the amazing record of 16 double figure barbel from 16 rivers in one season!) talking about the challenge of catching record sized fish;
Pallatrax on rigs and tackle needed to deceive, with practical demonstrations up on the big screen;
Martin James on – well who knows, this one could go anywhere but we guarantee you will be spellbound as Martin is a top class speaker;
Gary Knowles on catching big fish from northern rivers (and anywhere else he fishes);
Trevor Harrop and Budgie Price from the Hampshire Avon Roach Project, with pictures and reports on the amazing progress so far;
+ A special GUEST SPEAKER!
As well as listening to great talks, you will also get the chance to buy the very latest tackle, clothing, books, DVD's, rods, reels and baits from the well stocked trade room; learn how to cast with a centrepin reel by the lake; book a day's tuition with one of the professional angling guides attending or pick up tips on tying rigs or knots using some of the fantastic Kryston products. There really is something for everyone.
Non-member tickets for the Barbel Society show, ‘Running Water 2010’ are now on sale. The take up of tickets for this year's show has been absolutely fantastic so far, with over 250 Barbel Society members already booking their place.
