 Southern Alberta Competitive Fly Fishing League

I'm forming a Fly Fishing League in the Calgary, Alberta area - with the help of Kyle Snarr (member of the National Youth Fly Fishing Team), and would like to extend an invitaion to all of you and anyone that you know might be be interested in joining the new League and participating in a few of the friendly-spirited fly fishing competitions that we'll be holding on some southern Alberta stillwaters and rivers this summer and fall?

These events will provide the competitors with the opportunity to observe the tactics and techniques that other competitors are using when approaching a particular stretch of river or stillwater and its fish. They'll also serve as a valuable training excercise and educational tool for local youth. The venues will be selected with greatest thought and consideration, and worked through a rotation in order to ensure that they we won't have a negative impact on them or their fish.

The competitions are all single day events, with individual and team scores being recorded. A Leader Board will be set up and used to record the results of each competition and the individual and team standings for the Southern Alberta Competitive Fly Fishing League. There will be gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded to the the Top 3 individuals and teams at the conclusion of the season. Individual registrants are welcome to join in on the fun, and will be paired up with a partner prior to the start of each competition. competitors are free to pair up with whomever they choose as the season progresses.

These competitions will provide an excellent introduction into the world of competitive fly fishing. Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to attend these competitions, and are guaranteed to learn and benefit from this experience. This also an excellent chance for novice and experienced competitors to gain some additional competitive fly fishing experience and improve their skills.

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,
Todd Oishi
