Invitation From A Double World Champion
Submitted by Steve Crowder on Sat, 21/01/2012 - 16:22
Dear Fellow Angler
I would like to wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year.
I would like to invite you tor the UK's biggest and friendliest bank fly fishing championships. With £2000 individual first prize at the final, a UK holiday with fishing included, large tackle prizes, tagged fish prizes and many others, it promises to be an exciting event with Sky Sports TV capturing every moment. The final will be held on May 20th, 2012 at Elinor Trout Fishery, Northamptonshire. Elinor is a 50 acre lake and is a superb venue with some of the best still water fishing available. Prolific buzzer hatches during May will ensure a final to remember with fish feeding close to the margins on an abundance of natural food.
It will be a friendly run competition, ensuring catching fish is simply just part of the day. Each entrant in to every heat will walk away with an Airflo fly line and a pack of 12 award winning Iain Barr World Champions Choice flies worth over £50! Heat winners will walk away with a prize and there will be a 'wild card' prize of a £25 voucher to be spent at Hart Fly Shop.
There will be a number of wild qualifiers for the final so every entrant has a chance. Rotational pegging and a devised scoring system will ensure that a 'lucky draw' scenario does not come in to effect.
As a bank fishing competition, places are limited at each venue and demand is very high.
Please find an entry form attached showing an option of venues across the UK.
I look forward to seeing you on the water and wish you all tight lines for 2012!
If I can be of any help please do not hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy Fishing - It's the taking part that counts, not the winning.
Entry form attached or can be found at each fishery.

After receiving the above invitation from Iain Barr I thought I would try and further support such a fantastic idea and emailed Iain a request that I could use this material for a blog post and I got this reply from the UK's Double Fly Fishing World Champion
Hi Steve
Thanks for the email. It is going well but the more publicity the better, so yes, please publish on your blog.
I wanted to give something to the majority angler and where most people start, the smaller still waters. It is bank fishing so no boat fees and I have managed to give away items in the goody bag.
So yes please, try and encourage as many as possible. It will be fun, I will be on hand to help at many heats, got assistants in Ireland and Scotland, running heats and I will certainly be on hand to help all finalists.
Thanks for all your help and please send the url when you have put it in your blog
thanks again
Iain
So if you want to participate in a great World Bank Masters Open Championships - 2012 competition with fantastic prizes, goody bags, with a chance to meet Iain Barr thrown into the bargain I recommend you enter this and give it your support.
Update 28th February 2012
Good afternoon
With the event well under way, this weekend is another busy weekend for the competition. Heats at Ellerdine in Shropshire; ExeValley in Somerset (Sat and Sun); Palm Springs in Rutland and New Haylie in Scotland and Straid in Ireland. There are a few places left at each of these heats with the exception of ExeValley, Saturday, this is full.
The first heat was held last Saturday and the feedback has been very positive. Bart farmer the winner of the first heat said 'Thanks for a very well organised event. It was great fun and the fishing was superb and it seemed a very relaxed days fishing" - This is the philosophy I am trying to instil, its not just a competition, it's about getting out fishing and enjoying your day with fellow anglers.
Palm Springs heat on the prestigious salmon lake near Rutland requires a minimum of 2 further anglers to go ahead, 5 more maximum. This place really is on hot form and with salmon well over 30lb in there, this heat will be something special. The fishing cost is £120 on the day and you get to take your first 2 salmon home and release the rest through the day. If you wish to fish this heat please call me on 07802 567205 before 21:00 Wednesday 29th.
Paypal can now be used for all heats:- please send £26 for your first heat to iain_barr2000 [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk or £22.88 for any further heats. All first entrants receive an Airflo Ridge Floating line and a pack of World Champions Choice Flies worth over £50. Many put their flies to good use in the first heat and at least 2 of the anglers qualified on their goody bag flies!
Sky Sports will be at the FINAL to capture every moment.
Full details of the heats can be found here:- http://www.iainbarrflyfishing.co.uk/Airflo%20World%20Bank%20Masters%20In...
Best wishes and good luck to those fishing this weekend.
Please contact Iain on 07802 567205 with any queries.
regards
Iain
