An event is only as strong as its volunteers. Please sign up as a volunteer today, and help us to make this year's Canadian National Fly Fishing Championship an event to remember!

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS....
Volunteers are being sought for the 2016 Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships, which are being held in Merrit and Princeton. Volunteers will be required for the 3 days of the actual competition sessions: October 5, 6, and 7, 2016.

Please consider volunteering a bit of your time, and enjoy the opportunity to observe and learn from some of Canada's finest competitive fly fishers, and watch as competitors try to qualify for a spot on Canada's National Fly Fishing Teams.

Currently, our greatest need is finding volunteers to serve as judges (A.K.A. Controllers) on the Similkameen River beats, which are situated downstream of the town of Princeton. No previous experience is necessary, as this is a fairly simple duty and training will be provided.

Controllers will be responsible for recording any fish caught on their assigned competitor's scorecard. Controllers are not required to handle fish or enter the water, and may sit in the comfort of a lawnchair while monitoring their assigned competitior.

Competitors will net their fish and hold it up briefly for the controller to visually verify and record the fish as a single point on their scorecard. All fish must be released in good health and unharmed or penalty points will be issued.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn some new techniques while observing the fly patterns, techniques, and tactics that are employed by some of Canada's best and highly-skilled fly fishers.

Please help us to make this event a great success and an event to remember!!

For me, the quality of a trout is not measured in pounds and inches, but rather by the journey and circumstances that allowed our paths to cross...
