Small stuff

Ok so there times when small stuff will out fish big flies , especially when the preds are fixated with sticklebacks , minnows or fry , these also really do well with larger trout as well , it kinda funny that not a massive amount of trout guys use bigger flies for trout , well there missing out or they may just be purists but whatever give smaller ones a try and bucktail is great for smaller baitfish patterns

The Angling Active Open Weekend 2014 will take place on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of April at our 7000 square foot showroom by the river Teith in Stirling scotland.

This date has been chosen to compliment the opening of the 2014 Scottish fishing season. Our Open Weekend is regarded by many as the perfect opportunity to stock up the essential tackle needed to make the most of the forthcoming season. Having spent the first few months of the year getting to know 2014′s newest products, our team will be on hand to offer their opinion of the latest gear and let you get your hands on the items.

Key attractions this year include the return of our popular “Discount Prize Draw” where each customer will receive a lucky discount voucher, entitling the bearer to a discount off their purchases on that day. The generous discounts will mostly range from 10% to 20% although one lucky customer will receive a lucky ticket worth a massive 50% OFF.

As usual we will have a range of experts from across the sport available over the weekend, willing to give out their time and advice free of charge as well as the opportunity to “Try before You Buy” some of the latest tackle at our exclusive casting area on the banks of the River Teith.

Throughout the weekend you can witness fly tying demonstrations from some of the best in the game, giving you the chance to discuss the latest techniques and materials with those in the know. Our demonstrations will on at various times throughout the weekend from experts such as Euan Miller (competition Trout), Alex Wilkie (Trout and Pike), Barry Duffy (Salmon), Andrew McAdam (modern Trout), Scott Kane (Clyde Style), and Dave Lindsay (Pike)
