Recommended Posts

As the title say's, one of our guys (Kerry Pitt, Writer 1) had to bail due to other commitments.

 

Our team is in need of a replacement for him. Are you interested?

 

If so, call me at 604-722-0491 or send me an e-mail at rick@rp3flyfishing.com

 

The team is made up of;

 

Rick Passek (Rp3Flyfisher)

Alistar Grogan (Highlander)

Rob Viala (fishin Nut)

Jeff Weltz (Newsman)

And you??????

Yup, need to have a couple local boys competing. Now I just need an excuse to actually get out and do some fishing.

Well, I was born and raised in Calgary, so do I still count as a "local Boy"? :kicks:

 

We are going to have a BLAST together, and we have a very Experienced team so we should do well.

Welcome aboard Colin. At least we won't go hungry now with Colin on our team. :peesout:

 

Great to see you join us Colin.

 

Rob AKA The Fish'n Nut

okay, so let me get this straight, my being on the team has nothing to do with my ability to scare off every fish in a 5 mile radius, but more to do with my ability to cook? <_<

 

 

......hmmm, guess I'm okay with that :marsh:

Update for those who are competing;

 

Here is the preliminary schedule of events for the 7th Annual FFC National Fly Fishing Championship & Conservation Symposium to be held from September 21st to September 26th, 2009 in Fernie, British Columbia. Electronic registration for the 7th NFFC competitors and volunteers will be up and running on the FFC website www.flyfishingcanada.net in the coming days.

 

This promises to be another outstanding event - hope to see you there!

 

PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME

Sat, Sept 19: Competitors package (sign-in forms, laminated name tags, maps of the venues, official programme, goodie bags, local merchant’s coupons, etc…) available for pick up at the official competition hotel/head-quarters. This will allow the tracking of which competitors and teams have arrived, and to co-ordinate an introduction between any competitors that arrive as individuals wishing form a team with other individuals. “Fly school for young folks”

 

Monday, Sept 21: First official practice day (competition boats to be available at the lake for the official practice days. Competitors will alternate between venues and apply for a time-slot for the boats to allow equal access and to avoid conflicts. Controllers and judges are not required for practice sessions)
