A BRAND new angling show is set to become one of the best of 2019... with many top firms and anglers already signed up.

Called simply The Fishing Show, it has been launched in the biggest fishing region of the country at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, on the June 8-9 weekend.
It has real potential to be a big hit, and the organisers already host the 160-year-old Great Yorkshire Show which attracts 130,000 people over three days every year.
The Fishing Show spokeswoman Jenny Rose said: “The show is multi-discipline and has organically developed to be focused on the carp, coarse, fly and lure side of things.
“We’re also hoping for there to be a match element, with the match scene in Yorkshire being strong and have engaged Emma Pickering to be an ambassador along with her daughter Cadie, as they are from Yorkshire.
“Over 120,000 rod licences are sold annually in Yorkshire – more than anywhere else in the UK. There has long been a demand for a show of this nature in Yorkshire.
“Top fly fishing guide Marina Gibson and well-known game angler Paul Procter have also embraced the new event.
“Carp aces Rob Hughes and Mark Holmes are booked with more to be confirmed.
“Companies confirmed already include Shimano, Spotted Fin, RAD Angling, PB Products and Crafty Catcher
“The show is aimed at families and children as well as established anglers. We’d like to encourage those who haven’t tried fishing before to come along and give it a go, or encourage those who might be interested in getting back into it after a hiatus.
“The show will be mainly indoors in our high spec exhibition hall, but will also utilise the outdoor space and two on-site ponds for casting and demos,” added Jenny.
Excitement begins for The Fishing Show
Marina Gibson, who lives near Leyburn, promotes the sport to more than 33,000 of her Instagram followers… and she’s right behind The Fishing Show.
Marina said: “I’m so excited to be involved in the first ever The Fishing Show!
“There’s so much fishing in Yorkshire and its surrounding areas so it’s the perfect stepping stone for people who need that first bit of advice to get them through the starting barrier.
“The whole ethos behind the show is to be as inclusive as possible, targeting families, children, millennials and of course all ages, sex and abilities. See you there.”
