Following on from an extremely successful competition in 2009, with a prize and hospitality fund of more than £35,000, Airflo will continue with its sponsorship of the popular Anglian Water International fly-fishing competition in 2010.
The event is for teams of six anglers and will follow the same popular format as previous years. Teams take part in a series of local rounds, national finals and for those lucky enough to make it, the two-day international final - a real treat.
The prestigious two day International Final will be fished at Rutland Water on 5 and 6 October culminating in the presentation evening on the final day.
Together with our sponsor Airflo we will ensure that the prize and hospitality fund throughout the competition will reach £35,000. The silver salver first presented in 1982, the Water Aid trophy (for the biggest fish) and the Overseas Trophy (best placed overseas team) will be presented at our presentation dinner, the best in UK fly-fishing.
Below you find links to the Competition Calendar, Fishing Rules and Entry Form. There are heats at 10 top fisheries throughout the British Isles and I hope there will be a date and venue to suit your team.
The entry fee this year will be £111 per team of 6 and we offer a 25% discount on the entry fee for a second team.
We donate £1 to WaterAid for every competitor who enters. So far the competition has raised £5600 in the six years we have been running it.
We look forward to meeting you during 2010.
