WELCOME TO THE MASTERS
Carron Valley is delighted to announce that we are teaming up with The Scottish Sun, Scotland' s biggest selling daily paper, and Daiwa — Britain’s leading tackle manufacturer - to bring a unique competition to Scottish anglers with a host of fabulous prizes up for grabs.
.
Our competition is open to all anglers and the eventual champion will win a sensational fishing holiday of a lifetime, a superb trophy, a rod and reel and a tour of Daiwa’s HQ in Wishaw.
There will also be top-quality tackle prizes courtesy of Daiwa for the competitors finishing second and third.
And every finalist will receive a classy commemorative jacket and cap for qualifying.
The Masters will be run over a series of six heats through the summer with tackle prizes for the winners and runners-up of each heat. A third of the competitors will qualify for the semi-finals with 15 from each going on to the glamorous grand final on Sunday 9th August.
We want to make the Carron Valley Masters unique, so to that end, we are making it a catch and release competition.
Boat partners will be drawn at random and record each other’s catches on golf-style scorecards.
Stewards will keep an eye on proceedings but we’ll also rely on the honesty of anglers — with boat pairs scoring each other.
The Scottish Sun is launching the competition today (Friday) on their popular fishing page, and next Friday, March 27, they will publish more details. This will include the dates of the qualifiers and the entry form. These details will go on our website the same day.
Registration fee will be £10 and after that all you’ll pay is your share of the discounted boat hire. If numbers allow, you can enter more than once. Even if you’ve already qualified for the semis, it will be an opportunity to work on your tactics, check out your potential rivals or just enjoy some great fishing.
We are delighted to be teaming up with Scotland' s leaders in their respective fields — Daiwa and The Scottish Sun.
THE SPONSORS
Daiwa marketing manager Stephen McCaveny said: “ We have been making fishing rods in Scotland for over 30 years and our factory in Wishaw is the biggest outside of the Far East.
“Apart from a brilliant fishing holiday and gear, the Masters winner well get a guided tour of the whole place. They’ll see the rod design team in action and possibly get to watch our rod testing machine called The Terminator take a rod ‘beyond’ and eventually destroying it.
“With almost £5,000 of prizes, every ticket for the qualifiers will be like gold dust. If I didn’t work for Daiwa I wouldn’t hesitate to be in it.”
“We see it as the perfect event to sponsor — top quality trout fishing at a stunning location, a true wilderness but just outside of Glasgow".
The Scottish Sun's Angling Editor Mike Kernan added: "I must admit to a bit of bias because Carron Valley is among my favourite places to fish. It is full of top quality, hard fighting rainbow, brown and blue trout and offers anglers fantastic sport from both boat and bank in what is probably one of the most scenic places for anglers in the central belt" .
