They will be looking for someone to show off their favourites in the “What’s in Your Box” article, so you need to think of and prepare your three best flies and bring them to the show along with your full flybox.

Rob and Andrew will be gathering entrants, learning about your flies and choosing the most interesting set of flies to feature in Trout & Salmon magazine.
The featured flies will be retained for professional studio photography that will appear alongside a picture of you whole flybox and a head shot of the winner at the show. The Trout & Salmon team will also write the story behind each fly, complete with the dressing for their readership to try themselves.

Both Rob and Andrew are lifelong anglers and regular contributors to the magazine covering all aspects of game fishing at home and abroad from tiny Trout in small streams to GTs on sun-soaked tropical flats.
