If you’ve ever landed a catch that made your heart race, your hands shake and your camera roll explode, then Trout & Salmon’s #FishOfTheWeek competition is calling your name! This is your chance to show off your fly fishing prowess, share your passion with a like-minded community and maybe even win an amazing prize.
Whether it’s a perfectly spotted brown trout from a Highland loch, a gleaming sea trout from a coastal estuary, or a powerful Atlantic salmon from a fast-flowing river – if it made your day, it could make you Fish of the Week.
Why enter?
Fishing is more than just a hobby – it’s a story, a challenge and a moment worth remembering. The #FishOfTheWeek competition is your opportunity to share that moment with fellow anglers across the UK and beyond. Your photo could be featured on our social media channels, celebrated by thousands of fishing enthusiasts and most exciting of all – you could win a one-year digital subscription to Trout & Salmon magazine!
That’s right – not only do you get to bask in the glory of being chosen as the weekly winner, but you also get full access to exclusive articles, expert tips, gear reviews and inspiring fishing tales with our digital subscription. It’s the perfect way to stay connected with your passion all year round.
How to enter
It’s quick, easy and entirely free. All you have to do is:
-
Take a great photo of your recent catch – we’re looking for clear, high-quality images that show off the fish, the moment and even a bit of the scenery if you have it.
-
Share your photo on our Facebook Picture Gallery – you can join the Facebook group here.
-
Tag us in your post and use the hashtag #FishOfTheWeek.
That’s it! Every week, our team will sift through the submissions and pick their favourite fish – based on the quality of the catch, the photo and the story it tells. Whether it’s a trophy fish or your first-ever fly-caught trout, every entry has a shot.
Top tips to stand out
Want to give your entry the best chance of standing out?
-
Good lighting makes a world of difference. Natural light, especially early morning or golden hour, really brings out the beauty of the fish.
-
Composition matters – include the angler (that’s you!), the water, and any scenic backdrops that capture the spirit of the catch.
-
Tell a story – even just a short caption about where, how, or why this catch was special can make your entry memorable.
-
Make sure the fish is handled respectfully – we’re all about sustainable fishing and showcasing best practices on and off the water.
So, ready to share your catch?
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just had your first epic day on the river, this is your chance to be celebrated. Grab your rod, your phone and your hashtag – and let’s see those amazing catches!
