I take it my #12 rod is completely ineligible.


Please tell me why that would be.
I assume there's absolutely no point in my turning up with such equipment?


Pikey

I suspect Pikey, that P-F-A meant a minimum of a 9 or 10 wt rod as this is what the PFFA promote as a good rating for a pike fly rod (unless you are on the big trout waters). You would probably have been a bit overgunned with a 12wt in the fens anyway,
All the best,
Andy.

Thank you Andrew and pike fly angler for clearing that up.
