The Angling Trust has officially announced the dates and venues for the FishOMania 2025 qualifiers and Grand Final. This year’s Fisho will feature 20 qualifiers across the UK between March and July. The FishOMania 2025 Grand Final will return to Westwood Lakes in Boston on Saturday, 19th July.
This year’s qualifying campaign begins on Saturday, 29th March at Tunnel Barn Farm. The last qualifier takes place on Wednesday 9th July, also at Tunnel Barn. Qualifying venues include some of the best-known commercial fisheries in the country.
Held in association with Matchroom Sport, the big final takes place once again at Westwood Lakes on Saturday July 19, but before that there’s a lot of fishing to be done to decide who will be lining up to do battle for the £50,000 top prize.
The FishOMania 2025 Grand Final will feature 25 anglers. This includes 20 qualifier winners, defending champion Dave Shires, the 2025 Angling Trust Women’s National winner, the top weight from the 2025 Junior/Youth National, and two qualifiers from European matches.
Ticket sales for the FishOMania 2025 qualifiers will open in two rounds. The first round begins at noon on Friday, 7th February. This will allow anglers to purchase one ticket for their chosen qualifier. The second round of ticket sales starts at noon on Monday, 10th February 2025. This will permit unlimited ticket purchases. Tickets will be available for £35 each.
To participate, anglers must have a valid individual membership with the Angling Trust when buying tickets. Interested participants are advised to check their membership status before applying for tickets. You can check the status of your membership on the Angling Trust website.
