All,  just in case you're interested,  the European Fly Fishing Championship SLOVAKIA 2013 has started, with today being the first day of competition.

A couple of familiar names there, including Aberdeen's Kenny Riddell as part of the Scotland team.

To keep up with the event, which has six fishing sessions over 3 days (thu, fri & sat), see www.effc2013.eu/index.php/en/

cool, I didn't know that. I'd heard from Kenny that he'd had good numbers in practice, even a houchen (spelling?) up to 6lb, but the river he was on yesterday was up a foot 'cos of rain.
