Dear All,

I am organising a Fly Fishing tournament in Belgium on June the second on our largest reservoir. ok, don't laugh now, it's about 100 acres only. Still, for our part of the world, large. It's a typical drinking water type concrete bowl of water ... and fish. The fish are larg(ish), fast growing and extremely hardfighting ... anything below 22/00 will be usually snapped off in seconds, 25/00 is recommended. It's a bank fishing / float tube water. The participants are all from the Flemish Fly Fishing forum, an initiative of the Federation of Flemish Flyfishers (some are on here). Oskar D domeingarage. I have agreed to supply a cup / trophy to the winner (winners), still searching for possible categories (largest fish, heaviest fish, most fish, best blank, most foolish move, most hidious fly, etc), so I don't know how many trophees, cups I need. For categories, also recommendations are appreciated. My question however is this : does any of you make cups / trophees dedicated to Fly Fishing? Does any of you have on a shelf somewhere a cup / trophee that you found/ find beautiful or decorative or original. Eyebrows are raised here when you mention Flyfishing most cups are dedeicated to cycling / football. I want to find something really original, something that stands out. And by that I do not mean gold, diamonds, crystal, etc ... After all, yours truly, needs to pay for this ... And as I am aware of my skills and the competitors there ... the cup will not end up in my house ... so any suggestions, pics, ideas, etc would be very much appreciated indeed.
Thanks beforehand for your kind replies.
J.J.

I don't know if these are to be perpetual trophies or just 1 off winners!
If 1 off how about things like etched glass or pewter tankards, as they can be used if the winner wishes.
Having won several darts trophies over the years the plastic ones just get put in the loft.
what about this;

Hi Flempike, you could try contacting "Trofeeland" at Leuvensesteenweg, 177
3370 Boutersem . I have a nice glass trophy they produced for the European Grand Slam event held at Freux in 2007.
Their website is Cado en Trofeeland > Home
Hope this is of some help.

Yep, the pewter glass type trophee is nice and can be used, so won't just end up in the attic. The other reply came as a surprise to me, on an English forum, I am sent to a shop ... right at my doorstep. Thanks guys. Valuable help indeed ... You won at Freux in 2007? Lovely little stillwater, isn't it.
Best REgards,
