An honest fisherman is a pretty uninteresting person.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and not only is he hungry but broke for the rest of his life as well.

That's something different. A Ghost angler is someone who is brought in to make up numbers, but is not part of the competition. Like when there are not enough even numbers of anglers to have two per boat at the still waters.
An invitational team is different. t is a team that is invited to compete unofficially. Such as Free State who did not qualify for the Nationals.
Anyway, I got the full story , so thanks anyway.
Disclaimer.... none of my posts are intended to be "expert advice"..just opinions from someone who is willing to help where he can.
A ghost angler is also used on a river, where a beat will not be fished, due to the team not having an angler for that beat.
If the beat is rested, compared to the other beads, it will not be fair/equal in terms of the other beats.
So they provide a ghost angler to fish this beat, to try and keep all the beats equal, in terms of fishing pressure

Nymphing, adds depth to your fly fishing.
Nymphing, is fly fishing in another dimension
I just noticed some ghosts had fish numbers and points next to their name, so assumed they "competed" unofficially

Sorry my mistake yes you are all right. Not sure what happened to freestate. I know there were a few people ghosting for EC because they didn't have enough anglers.
