METHOD MAESTRO III IS COMING!

Two editions down. Hundreds of fish caught. Plenty of stories told.

And now… it’s time for the next chapter.

Following the huge success of Method Maestro II, we’re heading back to the incredible Lindholme Lakes from 25th–27th June 2027 for three days of pure method feeder fishing.
And believe us… Method Maestro III is going to be something special.

What’s It All About?

A FESTIVAL BUILT FOR METHOD FEEDER ANGLERS.

Method Maestro was created to bring together anglers who genuinely love method feeder fishing.
For second edition, more than 50 anglers lined up to take on the challenge. They travelled from across the UK and Europe, all with the same ambition - to see how they would measure up over three demanding days.
And among those who have already taken part are some seriously big names in the sport.
World-class anglers. Established names. Tournament specialists.

But that’s what makes Method Maestro different?

You don’t need to be a professional to compete against the best.
You just need to believe you can beat them.

One peg could put you alongside a recognised name. The next could be an angler fishing their first major festival.
For three days, everyone has the same rules and the same opportunity.

What to Expect?

If there’s one thing we learnt from this year’s edition, it’s that Method Maestro isn’t just another fishing match - it’s becoming the place to be for method feeder fans.

So, expect top-class fishing, a friendly but competitive atmosphere, plenty of laughs, and a line-up of anglers you’ll be proud to say you fished alongside.

Five waters. Three days. No easy day!

For Method Maestro III, anglers will face a fantastic selection of Lindholme Lakes waters:

Bonsai Lake, Loco Lake, Laurels Lake, Benny's Lake, Beeches Lake.

Five waters with their own character, challenges and opportunities. And that’s where the real test begins.

A big weight on Day 1 doesn’t guarantee anything.
A difficult draw doesn’t mean your tournament is over.
One brilliant decision, one change of method or one crucial fish can completely transform the leaderboard.

Because over three days, it’s not about having one great day.

It’s about having three great days.

WHO WILL BECOME THE NEXT MAESTRO?

That’s the question.
Will it be one of the big names?
Will a new face announce themselves on the method feeder scene?
Or will an experienced festival angler quietly put together three incredibly consistent days and take the title?

That’s what we love about Method Maestro.

Nobody knows.
And that’s exactly why we fish it..

YES... there are PRIZES  🏆

The Method Maestro III prize pot will give anglers plenty to fish for, with a £4000+ cash prize fund, with the potential to grow to around £4,500, alongside trophies worth £500.

But let’s be honest…
The money is nice.
The trophy is better.

And being able to tell everyone for the rest of the year that you won Method Maestro III?
That’s priceless.

More than just competition.

There’s something special about a fishing festival.
The early starts. The breakfast and coffee. The draw. The banter. The nerves before the whistle. The phone calls to mates after each day. The endless discussions about rigs, bait, distances and weights. And then three days later, everyone comes together again to find out who has conquered the challenge.

That’s Method Maestro.
Competitive enough to make your heart race. Friendly enough to make new friends. And demanding enough to make winning mean something.

Are There Any Rules?

Naturally, there are rules - they help keep the competition fair, safe, and fun for everyone.

Think of it like this: the rules are written down, but it’s you who we’re counting on to stick to them. Keep it clean, fish honestly, and show respect to your fellow anglers - that’s the spirit of Method Maestro.

We’ll be keeping an eye out, not to spoil the fun, but to make sure the competition stays fair and every angler has a proper chance at glory. Follow the rules, and you’re free to focus on what really matters: catching fish, enjoying the lakes, and having a blast.

And remember: to win it, you need to be in it!

Accommodation.

Want to make the most of your Method Maestro weekend? You’ve got options.

Right at Lindholme Lakes you’ll find comfortable lodges available to rent - but these need to be booked in advance, and they do go quickly. So if you’re planning to stay right on the fishery, we recommend sorting your booking as soon as possible.

Prefer to stay off-site? No problem. There are plenty of hotels, B&Bs and other options in the nearby area, so you’ll have no trouble finding somewhere that suits your style and budget.

Whether you choose a lodge on the lakeside or a cosy spot nearby, you’ll be perfectly placed for three unforgettable days at Method Maestro 3.
