Here's a few pics from Sunday.
The day & indeed the weekend was a success. Me, AdrianY & Buzzerking drove up on the Sunday to be greeted by heavy rain & huge crowds. The materials on offer were class, with Cookshill providing a large range of natural materials from deer hair to quality cdc, Steve was a top bloke and provided us with some good advice. Marc Petitjean had some very cutting edge stuff for sale, namely his magic heads which brings to life your flies like you wouldn't believe. Celtic Flycraft provided us with our biggest treat when we found our hard to source marabou on the shelf, suffice to say we brought all they had(still got my half Adi) lol.
A casting lesson to remember by Hywel Morgan was only dampened by the weather. Now that i have seen him cast he truely justifies his postion as one of the greats of the casting world.

Hywel Morgan

There was also a wealth of talent displayed on the fly tying tables.
