This year (2024) is the 10-year anniversary of Barbless Flies being born - we are a specialist supplier of high-quality barbless fishing flies. We want to make 2024 extra special and raise money for a charity which is very close to our sport and its environment. The fly fishing community has the health of all UK waterways at its heart - after all, it's where we spend most of our time. We see the damage that pollution does first-hand - as we're often stood in it!

Taking our inspiration from the book "Masquerade" - a picture book, published in August 1979, which included concealed clues to the location of a jewelled golden hare, hidden somewhere in the United Kingdom.

Throughout 2024 we will be virtually hiding 7 Golden Flies somewhere around the world, one for each month of the trout fishing season (March through to September). In order to find the hidden Golden Flies, we ask entrants to make a small donation to charity - once done, every entrant will receive an email each month - contained in that email are clues to the whereabouts of that month's hidden golden fly.
For each month, the first entrant to tell us where the Golden Fly is hidden, wins it.
All you need to do to enter our Golden Fly competition is buy this product and you will receive entry details via email.
Good luck.
