Default River Home International - River Tummel

Hi Guys,

The Scotland Team Manager, Franz Grimley has put out a formal request for controllers for the Home International River Fly Fishing Championships.

The event is to be held on the Pitlochry AC stretch of the Tummel on Friday 27th June and the comp is between 5 man teams from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England.

Controllers are needed to accompany the anglers to measure and record their fish prior to release. The good news is you get lunch and get to see some of the finest anglers in the country in action and if bold enough, get to keep the flies that performed on the day.

This request is on a first come first served basis so please contact Franz on:

dryflyboy@blueyonder.co.uk

best regards

Paul Buchanan

I had already put my name forward but I'll drop Franz a message aswell. Is the international fished to the same format as the national or pegged as in the worlds?

Cheers

Wullie

Hey Paul,

Get me a lift up and down and ill go

There are five beats A to E with four start points in each beat, you're fishing against the other anglers in the same beat.

Campbell, I found out about it today and you will be needing transport to ship your angler from ballinluig to his beat/starting point.

Hi Campbell, Daver, Hametied
I would still let Franz know you are all available even if you don't have transport as a lot of the anglers will have their own transport.

I know what a nightmare it is organising controllers and all help and assistance will be much appreciated by all teh Home Nations ......for that I'm sure

All the best

Campbell, if you can get up to meet me, ask franz if you can get the start point at ballinluig as you will only have to walk about 60 yds (you get the same SP morning and afternoon with different angler). Some controller is going to get it. It might as well be one with no transport. I am quite happy to meet up with you and Dave to share transport if thats an option for you.

HKS......I am defo going. Already confirmed with John McCallum, who is looking after the controllers.

Wullie
