Thanks to everyone who responded.

The event that was being referred to is taking the form of the Bass Fishing Open Day, organised by Ed Mitchell and Jim Hendrick. (Not a "festival"!!) The event takes place in October but time is running out to register.

More info on Jim's blog

Hi,
As you may have seen from another post I am just starting out swff, thought I have a lifelong salmon and trout fly fishing of experience to fall back on, if that will be any help to me.
