The Rumours Are True - Calgary To Host Canadian Fly Fishing Nationals!

[silkline]

If Facebook is official then I'd say the Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships & Conservation Symposium is on its way to Calgary. Saw this posted to Facebook last night!

 

"Welcome to the official Facebook page for the Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships & Conservation Symposium, which will be held in Calgary, Alberta from September 23-27 in 2013! Lots of news to be released on this exciting event so be sure to give this page a "LIKE" and share with your fly-fishing friends!"

What duties do you need volunteers for?

[Jayhad]

I would assume the Bow is going to be the fishery?

[Muffin]

That is interesting and very cool.

So it's not knew knews to you then?

[CDone]

What duties do you need volunteers for?

Controllers, Sector Judges, Transportation and other various opportunities

 

I would assume the Bow is going to be the fishery?

Sectors will be divided up along the Bow, and I believe Chain Lakes will be the stillwater venue.

Again, lots more info to come, and I'm sure that others who are members of the organizing committee as well as members of this board will add as well.

Did a Bird tell you?

 

Why Chain?

[ÜberFly]

No not a bird, per se, but I think Colin mentioned it last time we were out fishing!

_{There is a contingent from the Hook and Hackle spearheading this. There was an effort made to not release too much information because a lot of the details have yet to be decided. The stillwater venue is Chain because there are complicated transportation logistics and cost factors involved. Some other water bodies were considered but they did not meet the necessary criteria.}

[Guest Wrecker]

how do you rent a stretch of public river or lake for an event like this?

[jasonvilly]

How does one compete in the nationals?

 

Is there a regional qualifier or something of the matter? I would hope it would be a local or board member who wins.

 

Please keep us informed of how we can volunteer, I would be willing to help.

Lots of info about the competitions, FIPS Mouche rules, competitor and volunteer sign up sheets here http://www.flyfishingcanada.net/ . As well we will have a booth set up at the WCFF expo, there will be sign up sheets there as well.
