Romo Fishing Festival

This is an annual festival held among the Ramon Sarki in Tambuwal local government area. Legend has it that Gumaru whose name was given to the lake where the fishing takes place was a disciple of Shehu Usman dan Fodio. He dug a well at the site which was blessed by the Shehu and eventually the well expanded to a lake. The neighbouring communities around the lake converge between April and May for the purpose of fishing.
