This is an open invitation to all forum members, spouses, friends, family, league members and non-league members. It would be great to have as many of you as possible at this event! So consider this as your invitation to come out to support the youth team members and celebrate the end of the 2017 season, and recognize the accomplishments of the competitors/members of the British Columbia Competitive Fly Fishing League.
This year has been a great season with many fantastic competitions (and some very challenging ones as well). This season there has been a total of 8 competitions held within British Columbia (4 rivers and 4 stillwaters), with an total of 60 competitors competing at these competitions and championships.
The results from those competitions have been recorded on the British Columbia Competitive Fly Fishing Leader Board, but with only the Mill Lake competition remaining (November 5th) before the 2017 season comes to an end, so its anyones guess as to who will rise to the top in the standings and categories. Medals and trophies will be presented for both the adult and youth categories at the season finale and awards ceremony on Sunday, January 7, 2018.
Here are the categories for this year's awards:
Overall Categories: River Champion (highest points earned at river competitions)
Stillwater Champion (highest points earned at stillwater competitions)
Largest Catch - Stillwaters (based on the number of fish scored)

Spouses, children and parents, as well as non-league members are invited and most welcome to attend this event. This will provide a great opportunity for your parents, spouses, and children to meet the parents, spouses, and children of your fellow league members and share in some stories of the good times, memories, and friendships that weve built over this past season. Itll also allow them to share the experience and perhaps better understand why were so willing to brave the elements, and better understand why we're so passionate (and obsessed) about this great sport!
