National Fly
Fishing Championships
Calgary, AB – Fly Fishing Canada and the NFFC Host Committee for
2013 are pleased to announce that Calgary, Alberta has been selected as the
host city for the 11th Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships and
Conservation Symposium. The event will be held from September 23rd
to 27th with participant registration opening January 2013. The
highly organized host committee, a newly formed chapter of Trout Unlimited
Canada chaired by Gerry Thompson, is actively assembling what will be a very
memorable year.
“We are honoured to have been provided the opportunity to host the
11th Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships”, says host
committee chair Gerry Thompson, “The city of Calgary and the world class Bow River
fishery that flows through it have a rich history within the sport of fly
fishing and will prove to be the perfect host for celebrating this special gathering
of the fly-fishing community. Participating fly anglers can expect nothing
short of the best from this planning committee and we look forward to seeing
you next September.”
“We are
thrilled to have Calgary as the host of our 2013 Nationals,” says Fly Fishing
Canada President Randy Taylor, “The strong team of volunteers that have come
together to form the local organizing committee, together with Calgary’s world-class
fly-fishing opportunities, creates the dynamic framework for what we anticipate
will be a highly successful event. We have no doubt that Calgary will deliver
in spades.”
