UK Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival 2026
We are proud to support the UK Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival as a sponsor of this fantastic celebration of saltwater fly fishing, held in the stunning Cornish fishing village of St Mawes from 1st–4th October 2026. The festival brings together anglers from across the UK and around the world for four days of fishing, learning, socialising, and friendly competition in one of the country's premier saltwater fly fishing destinations.
As part of the event, Upavon Fly Fishing will be operating a dedicated saltwater pop-up shop, showcasing a carefully selected range of flies, materials, tackle, and accessories designed specifically for targeting bass, mullet, pollack, and other coastal species. Whether you're new to saltwater fly fishing or a seasoned angler, our team will be on hand throughout the festival to offer advice, recommendations, and the latest innovations from the brands we represent.
Visitors can also enjoy live fly-tying demonstrations from The Fly Cartel, who will be sharing their expertise, techniques, and favourite saltwater patterns, with flies and materials available to purchase throughout the weekend.
Alongside the fishing competition, attendees will benefit from casting demonstrations, training clinics, local fishing knowledge, expert presentations, social events, and access to some exceptional prizes and welcome packs. The festival is renowned not only for its excellent fishing but also for its welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-attend event for anyone passionate about saltwater fly fishing.
With entry priced at just £130, the UK Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival offers outstanding value and an unforgettable opportunity to learn, improve, compete, and connect with fellow anglers in one of the UK's most iconic coastal locations. We look forward to seeing you in St Mawes this October.
