Is there any news about the competition ,I would be interested in the Irish Heat depending on on where and when.Time off and B&B need to be booked etc etc. Hope it goes ahead as it seems like a breath of fresh air. Tight Lines GB.

Unfortunately, I shall not be able to assist in the organization of this event through personal reasons. It is a strong possibility this comp shall not take place.
In all honesty I cannot motivate myself in the competition scene any longer. I apologise to all concerned including Iwan and Dave and all those who had hopes of a better honest, fairly run event. Sorry for misleading anyone.

Hi Daver,
As a newbie into the forum and just back into fly fishing since the middle of last year, can I ask if an entered team has to be from an existing recognised club or can 4 or 6 decent fly fishers enter a team?
Also, my views on the "bung" and "booby" is that both should be disallowed and traditional loch style fishing only be allowed. I've had a 21-year "break" from fishing whilst playing competitive golf and the same flies and methods I used then (traditional) have worked perfectly well for me now, including completely outfishing a modern day competitive angler on 3 outings to Menteith and 1 to Carron. On all 4 occasions I used a team of 3 wets on a slow sinking line.
Regards,
Bill

Carman,
if it goes ahead in 2007 it will be teams of 4, your mates, your clubmates whoever you fancy. I have a few ideas but it will be 2007 if it goes ahead. But I will keep you posted as I would like to do something that is for anglers, along the lines of the old B&H competition.
I am open to ideas
cheers
Dave

Hi Daver - what a shame that it wasn't possible for this year. Still, something to look forward to next year! More time to get it marketed / interest in the event I suppose. It did seem like a mammoth task to be fair to you guys.
We'll still be ready to go if you get it up and running in 2007!
