Our Open Weekends Just Keep Getting Better!

What can we say?  Another truly awesome GAC Open Weekend done and dusted and one of our best attended events to date!

Matt Hayes

The atmosphere was tremendous.  Anglers from all over the UK flocked to meet some of the most famous and influential faces in fishing, including Matt Hayes, Hywel Morgan and Scott MacKenzie.  They got to see and try out the latest fishing tackle and witnessed some of the best fly tyers in the world showcase their skills and expertise.

Our open weekends are a great opportunity to pick up a bargain, however they also create a fantastic 'community' feel where like minded anglers come together to learn new things, and indulge their passion.

Plenty of Gear on Show

Learning is always at the top of Glasgow Angling Centre's agenda.  We are passionate about helping our customers get the best from their tackle, that's why we invite the best names in the sport to come and demonstrate their techniques for the benefit of everyone.
