Well said! We have worked very hard as a Province these past year, as you can see by our sustained growth in our membership base. We are fielding 3 full Senior teams this year and are the only Province to do so. This bodes well for the overall quality of anglers that WP is producing as the increased competition between its members forces them to be at the top of their game at all times.
As Andre mentioned, the teams are selected purely on their result from our trials process. There can be no 'cherry picking' or the trial process would end up being a waste of time and members may resent being removed from a team if their results show them making it in. Our trials process has been molded and improved over the past years and we are very confident that it has produces the best possible teams.
Korrie is a seriously quality angler and although he did not make the A team this year, you can bet your house that he will be back next year, ready to kick the front door down and fight to regain his spot in the A's!
Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey
