"We have competitions for the kids as well as adults and loads of great prizes so you have to be in it to win it.

"There will be lots of mystery prizes so it really is anyone's game when it comes to the winning prizes."

Mr Hutchinson said you can catch from the river, lake and rocks but you have to register to be in with a chance.
