Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekends are special on many levels.  Firstly we bring the biggest names in fishing to the store to engage with our customers and to help them with their fishing tackle questions and concerns.  It's an opportunity to gain new insights, skills and techniques that help achieve the ultimate goal - to get maximum enjoyment and pleasure from the sport.  For example our fly tying benches are always a hive of activity where people become transfixed as they observe first-hand new techniques and processes.  Secondly, Open Weekends are about offering exclusive insight into new and exiting products that are entering the market.  Rod, reel and clothing technology is evolving at a rapid pace so we are always excited about being the first to present them to anglers.

Fun is always high on the agenda during Open Weekends and it's great to see so many people enjoy themselves at this truly unique event.  There's a real sense of community and commonality as anglers travel from all over the UK to participate.  Notably more young people and families are attending as fishing continues to grow in popularity as an opportunity to get outdoors and to exercise the spirit of adventure. Of course, this is fantastic for sport!

Over the past couple of years, the Open Weekend has grown significantly, both in terms of foot-fall and the number of displays and organisations who attend.  Consequently, more anglers are aware of important issues and conservation activities that impact fishing as a sport.  This is very encouraging and testimony to Glasgow Angling Centre's commitment in playing it's part in encouraging anglers to preserve the natural environment that brings us so much pleasure.  That's why we invite organisations such as Revive the Clyde,  RNLI, Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park and the Pike Angler's Alliance - to name but a few - to keep anglers informed on pressing matters.
