The South West Federation of Fly Fishers

by Jeff Loud

The South West Federation of Fly Fishers belongs to the Confederation of English Fly Fishers. The Confederation is, amongst other things, responsible for running National and International Fly Fishing Teams and Competitions. The grassroots of all the National and International Competitions are the Regional Eliminators run by Federations all over the Country.
The South West Federation runs Eliminators at Chew Valley Lake. This years dates are as follows:

FIRST ELIMINATOR: SUN 30 APRIL
SECOND ELIMINATOR: SUN 28 MAY
FINAL ELIMINATOR: SUN 18 JUNE

Competitors can ONLY enter ONE of the first two eliminators and if successful would qualify for the Final Eliminator. Thirty competitors compete in the Final Eliminator. We expect there to be approximately 12 places available in 2006 for the Loch Style National which will take place at Chew Valley on Sunday Sept 23rd.

ELIGIBILITY
Anyone can enter provided that they are over 18 years of age, and have been domiciled in ENGLAND for 3 years.
Competitors can ONLY enter eliminators in ONE Region in any one year. Anyone who has previously fished at International Level for another Country is NOT eligible to fish.
