Some of the finest casters of the fly with both single and double handed rods, will be visiting the Underley Estate water on the River Lune in south Cumbria on Sunday 16th May. The event is actually the open day/casting day/try-before-you-buy-day that Lancaster tackle dealer Fawcetts have been running over the years at other locations close to Lancaster. Underley is on the Lune just upstream of Kirkby Lonsdale. Given that the event takes place just inside Cumbria, I’ve cheekily incorporated it into our Cumbria Fishing Festival that starts on Sat 15th. (cumbriafishingfestival.co.uk)

Top game fishing brands and their representatives will be thereand they include (in no particular order) Vision/Redington/Rio (Jim Fearn), G.Loomis (Andy Murray). Hardy Greys (Mike Roden, Steve Bailey), Thomas & Thomas (Ally Gowans) , Sharpes (Dave Burgess), Z-pey (Mathias Lilleheim), Bruce & Walker (Brian Potter), Loop and Sage (representatives TBC).

Entry is free and refreshments will be available from a mobile catering unit.

For a map, go to the Fawcetts website, and click on the Casting Day section Fawcetts Online Country Clothing Shop, Gunsmiths and Fishing Tackle Retailer.


Any queries, call Fawcetts on (01524) 32033.
