CEFF/Airflo Bank Fly-Fishing Open 2005
8th April 2005
The CEFF/Airflo Bank Fly Fishing Open is the biggest and best sponsored bank fly-fishing competition in the UK. The first North-West Regional heat is on Bessy Beck Trout Fishery on Friday 8th April. You can enter either as an individual, or as a team of three, or both. The Competition Entry Fee is £15.00, either as a team member or as an individual. You can enter as many heats as you want individually (other Heats are organised later in the year), but only once as a team member. Fishing Permit fees (see reverse) must be paid along with the Competition Entry Fee. At least one team and three individuals will qualify to go forward to the Regional Final on Stocks reservoir in July. The National Final will be held at Elinor Fishery in Northamptonshire on 9th October. Every entrant will receive a sponsored selection of fly-fishing accessories and voucher, with a value exceeding the cost of entry. There are prizes at Regional and National Final level, for both individuals and teams. The rules are simple and are essentially the fishery rules with a few minor alterations to bring the competition more in line with the competitions leading to selection of the England Team and fishing in Internationals. Each competitor will kill the first two fish caught, for weighing at the end of the match, with catch and release thereafter. A full set of rules will be sent to each entrant. The lakes will be closed to the public on the day of the competition and will be pegged out for the Bank Open competitors, limited to 16 in this Heat. Each competitor will fish from a range of pegs through the course of the day. The lakes will be very well stocked for the competition with rainbow and blue trout, with some fish in excess of l0Ibs.
