The Rutland Youth Fly Fishing Day Secures Funding

On Monday Rutland Water Fly Fishers met up with the Environment Agency and the Angling Development Board to discuss the  Rutland Youth Fly Fishing Day, which will take place on July 22nd.

James Roche of the ADB has worked very hard on behalf of the club and managed to secure funding from the EA to the value of £3250.00.  The money will be used to provide fishing tackle for participants to use on the day.

Hugh Bunker, of the Environment Agency, said.  "I am so pleased Rutland Water Fly Fishers are running this event in July.  I am thrilled the club has asked for our support and that we are able to contribute to the largest youth fly fishing day ever. This event promises to be a fantastic day for all involved."

James Roche, of the ADB said "The day is really starting to take shape and it is a great credit to the club and the organising committee that the day could really be the biggest game angling participation event in the country."
