The Innovative Fly Fisher is gearing up to host the 1st B.C. Provincial Fly Fishing Championships for youths between the ages of 13 to 18. This event will take place October 5 - 6, 2013 . The venues for this year's championships will include 2 stillwater and 2 river venues that are located in Maple Ridge.

The top ten competitors will qualify for a spot on the Canadian Youth National Fly Fishing Team, which travels throughout North America and abroad to compete and represent Canada at a number of national and international competitions and conservation symposiums.

Entry fee: $25.00 per person (entry fees are used to cover the cost of box lunches and awards)
Maximum number of participants: 32 competitors.
Competitors must be 13 to 18 years old at any point during the year of the competition (2013).
Participants will fish all 4 venues at some point during the 2 days of the championships.
All flies must be tied on barbless or de-barbed hooks
All fishing must strictly be performed on a catch & release basis
FIPS-Mouche Rules apply (the international standard for competitive fly fishing)

I'm pleased to announce that we've picked up a sponsor that will hopefully be able to cover the entry fees for any youths that might be interested in participating at this event. I'd also like to thank the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC for their involvement and helping to promote this event. This promises to be a fun and informative experience for all those involved!
