The England Under 18 River, Bank Fly Fishing Team enjoyed a fantastic weekend of fly fishing, with two excellent days on the water – Saturday at Farmoor Reservoir and Sunday on the River Kennet.
The six anglers selected for the England Under 18 River, Bank Fly Fishing squad spent the day boat fishing under bright, clear skies – far from ideal conditions for fly fishing. Despite this, every member of the team caught fish, showing excellent technique and adaptability.
Will Barnard and Mark Loughray, the fishery ranger at Farmoor, was outstanding. He and the staff gave the team a first class experience. The day was well run, enjoyable and full of learning. The atmosphere was electric and the young anglers were buzzing.
Sunday on the Kennet continued the success, with six team members of the England Under 18 River, Bank Fly Fishing Team once again showing their talent.
Many thanks to Mark and everyone who supported the weekend!
This weekend formed a key part of the squad’s final preparations for the 22nd FIPS-Mouche World Youth Fly Fishing Championship. Taking place this summer, the event will see the best young anglers from around the world compete – and after their efforts this weekend, England Under 18 Rver, Bank Fly Fishing Team looks well prepared to meet the challenge.
