WFFC 2013 Norway Raffle

**fish** · 18-07-13

Hi All,

In less than a month's time we will be fishing in the World Fly Fishing Championship in the Vefsna Region Norway.

We will be competing against teams from 27 nations with a total of 135 anglers from across the globe – very exciting, but also nerve wrecking and lots of preparing to do. Here is the link to the official website - http://www.wffc2013.com/. The Protea team consists of Christiaan Pretorius, Gary Glen-Young, Hendrik Enslin, Daniel Factor, myself and Willem Pretorius our manager.

Unfortunately like most South African sports, fly fishing is experiencing a short fall in funding. Currently the whole trip is self-funded, with this being the present scenario I need to raise money and it will be greatly appreciated if you can assist by purchasing one or more raffle tickets. You can win world class tackle and it will also be for a good cause.

I decided to have a raffle on Fly Talk, at R 150.00 per entry you stand a chance to win one of the awesome prizes below, with more than one entry allowed per Fly Talker. The draw will take place on Friday the 22nd of August and all entries will be listed below.

Use your name as reference when depositing the money into the account below.

Standard Bank
Account Name: JP Meyer
Account number: 072474068 (copy and paste this number is the safest way when doing an EFT)
Account Type: Cheque
Branch Code: 033012

I will write a detailed report on our return.

Thank you,

Philip

Hi Phillip
I have bought 2 tickets.

I will donate an extra competition fly box, that I manufacture, as per the samples in your shop, as another price. If you want another price to give away, and it might help someone buy another 2 or 3 tickets.

For those of you, who are wondering, why should I support people going to the world champs, lets look at what we have learned over the last 10 years from the competitions.
The various nymphing techniques, French, Czech, Polish and Spanish nymphing, which have opened just about all the rivers for fishing in South Africa. Imagine we could not fish for SM Yellows, scalies etc, our fishing would be pretty boring.
Still waters, the drift boats and long leaders, multiple flies etc.
New leaders and different ways to fish dry fly.

The knowledge gained from the participation in the World Champs, gets fed back into the local fly fishing community, benefiting all of us.

Support Phillip with this venture. Open your wallet, take R150 and buy a ticket. ( it is far less than what you would normally spend at your local on a couple of pints)
