Following the huge success of the Fox Carp Experience in 2008, Fox has decided to expand the 2009 event to cover all disciplines: carp, match, predator and even sea fishing!

The Fox Fishing Experience will also be over two days and will take place at the awesome Willow Park Complex, Ash Vale, near Farnborough. The dates are August 1 and 2.

Steve Cole, Fox International's media and publicity manager, feels the event will be a must-attend show for anglers all around the country: “The emphasis of The Fox Fishing Experience is to give anglers the opportunity to come along and learn more about fishing with the help of our top anglers. We'll have workshops, rig clinics and on-the-bank fishing demonstrations all aimed at helping you become a better angler.

“We'll also have a mass of new Fox tackle available for anglers to actually try for themselves in a completely non-selling environment! You won't have salesman trying to get you to part with your cash. This event is purely about letting anglers try a Fox rod and reel for themselves, with our anglers also giving them tips on how to cast further, for example.

“You can also expect loads of competitions taking place throughout the event, giving anglers as many opportunities as possible to walk away with some free Fox tackle!” explained Steve.

Fox's anglers in attendance reads like a 'Who's Who' of fishing. Expect to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Ian Chillcott, Colin Davidson, Mick Brown, Bob Nudd, Alan Yates, Chris Clark, Mark Pollard, Mark Barrett, Chris Rose, Steve Spurgeon, Tom Maker plus many more!
