The Drennan Rive Silverfish Festival kicks off today at the fantastic White Acres holiday complex in Cornwall.

Seventy eight anglers are competing in this prestigious two-day invitation event, including 20 anglers from France, the Drennan Team England team, a host of top Drennan-backed anglers and select individuals.

This is a strictly silverfish only event with no carp, crucians or F1s to count and a 13m limit in place. The match is split across Jennys, Pollawyn, Python, Nelsons, Sycamore and Twin Oaks and anglers have been catching plenty of fish in practice… along with a number of rogue carp!

The event is split into six-peg sections and the winner will be determined by points, then weight. Along with a £1,000 winner’s cheque and other cash prizes, there are tackle prizes for everyone, including top of the range Drennan Acolyte rods and three Drennan Rive seatboxes.

We fully expect some impressive weights of silverfish to be put on the scales over the next two days!
