Fly Fishing, a goal in itself.   The European Fly-Fishing Championship in 1998 - A success   for Italians

continous struggle to  beat the mosquitos. They were all over making it hard for the fish to find the artificial ones. Not surprisingly our fly fishing friends from Italy, Poland and Tzeck Republic beat all with their superb stream fishing tactics. A technique hardly known in Sweden, the short line nymphing technique. The Italian team won, with Tzceck Republic as the runner up. Poland was third.  The individual placings were a confirmation of the exellent stream fishing tactics that the Poles have developed and Kazimierz Szymala beat Edgardo Dona from Italy on second place with Edoardo Ferrero on third place was the polite host with best angler on 16th.

Please observe that all information here reflects my personal ambition to help. Changes may therefore occur officially at any time.
