Volunteers needed for the 2012 Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships for August 29, 30 and 31

Fly Fishing Canada is looking for volunteers to serve as Controllers and Judges for this year’s National Fly Fishing Championship, which will be held in the Calgary area on August 29, 30 and 31. The jobs aren’t difficult and will provide you with the opportunity to spend some time on the water with some of Canada’s finest, competitive fly fishers.

No previous experience necessary, as there will be members of Fly Fishing Canada on hand to provide instruction and answer all of your questions. A Controller’s duties basically consist of watching the competitors in action and recording the size and number of trout that are caught by the competitors that they’ve been assigned to monitor.

We’ll provide a box lunch and water each day for each Controller, and recommend that you bring a folding chair, umbrella, or whatever makes you comfortable. A walking stick, camera, sun hat are also great items to have in a day pack.

The evening of Friday, August 31st features the Awards Banquet that all volunteers are invited to attend. This is a great time to chat with new friends made during the event and to hear fish stories from the competitors and to see who takes home the medals.

If you’re looking to compete in future events, it’s also a great way to learn the event process and techniques that are being used by Canada’s top competitors. Volunteers can also take advantage of the same lodging packages that will be offered to the competitors.
