WFFC rules
Six rounds with a duration of three hours of fly fishing are fished at five different geographical locations (sectors), a mixture of lakes and rivers to test all skills, as chosen by the host nation beforehand for its abundant trout and game fish populations. All fish caught will be measured for length, rather than weight and are returned to the water alive. Points are awarded to the most successful anglers and section points per round according to placing, with the winner receiving one point; the lowest overall score wins.
2017 WFFC
France won the 37th FIPS Mouche World Flyfishing Championship 2017 which took place in Slovakia with convincing domination of the event, securing three individual placings in the top 4 with the hosts only managing 4th place. However, this was not enough to prevent Antonin Pe?ek of the Czech Republic winning the individual prize with a record score of just 8 points in Slovakia. Long shot outsiders Australia finishing in 5th place secured their first top 5 slot since the year 2000. The venues fished were the rivers Váh, Belá, Poprad and Orava and on the water dam Palcmanska Ma?a located on the river at Dedinky near Dob?iná. These rivers hold brown trout, rainbow trout, grayling, brook trout, chub, huchen (Danubian salmon) and dace which provided plenty of good sport during the tournament.
