Hi all,

Just a quick note to let everyone who didn't know that our very own yungflyfisherman and his brother have been selected to participate in the 2006 world youth fly fishing championship. The tournement will take place in Portugual in the end of July. I guess they just need to find the money and they can go!!! So lets wish good luck to thoses two young Ottawa fly anglers.

thanx guys!!!

I was very surprised to be accepted....its for people 18 and under and i'm the youngest on the team. 6 kids are selected to go and after a week of pre-fishing in portugal the coach decided who he wants as a spare. I will not be surprised if this ends up being me...and I know I have my work cut out for me. Me or flyfishingcanada are still guaranteed a spot though and still....1 week of guided fishing in the mountains is still a sweet deal.
I'm gonna be practising techniques like czech nymphing that are new to me every day I can at the ruisseau. Theres some nice overhaging trees for dry fly fishing too :)

Theres tonnes of benefits too: Like last weekend I got to fish kenauks cast and blast for some 10-15 inch brookies 8) Biggest ones I've ever seen..we mesured them in the afternoon too. Pics are on disposable so they'll be a while.
