The Cudmore complex features lakes full of carp, tench, roach, barbel and bream, and the exhibition will be structured around the pools, making the all-new show an action-packed, fish-filled festival.

Go Fishing is like coarse angling's very own game fair, with the added bonus that we have put catching fish right at the heart of the exhibition. Angling is a celebration of the environment and water, and it is a long overdue progression for Go Fishing to go outdoors. If you only go to one event this year - make sure you visit Cudmore!” GO FISHING 2010 WHAT YOU WILL SEE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL Unlike the cold halls of the NEC, manufacturers have designed their stands around fish-laden pools, which means you will be able to see the latest releases and watch sponsored anglers using the kit.
