Calgary Fly Fishing League

[proflytyer]

Hi my name is Kyle Snarr (of the Canadian Youth Team) I'm trying to start up a Fly Fishing League in Calgary, Alberta area and was curious as to how many of you would be interested - or know of someone that might be interested - in joining the new League and participating at a few of the competitions that we'll be holding this spring, summer and fall? You do not need any previous competition experience, i want to promote competitive fly fishing because you get to meet alot of new people, learn some great new techniques and tricks, and is alot of fun!

Please respond on this thread to be registered and added to the mailing list (there are no fees or charges to be a part of this League).

Cheers,
Kyle Snarr

We tried something like this a few years ago. The thought was that we would have this bracket style "tournament" where everyone got to fish one on one with everyone else, each week was a different pairing. It did not work out that well as schedules did not seem to permit it. Went on for several weeks and sorta died out, which was too bad because it was fun.

 

Good luck with this, truly. Maybe you guys can come up with a better plan than we did.
