Successful fundraising campaign for our EWF sponsor family Kanitz and the Ambulant Children’s Hospice, Munich!
 |
Many thanks to the many donors of the EWF! A very special thank you to our fly fishing colleague, Aihan Sali-Oglou, who again worked with inexhaustible energy to raise this great amount of money at the stand at the EWF. At the beginning of May, we met with Mrs Kanitz, her little daughter Sara, and Mrs Hindennach, representative of the children's hospice, and handed over the cheque. This makes it possible again to support Sara and her family with the fulfilment of their heart's desires! |
This was the 17th Experience the World of Fly Fishing 2022
A total of 98 exhibitors, 40 fly tyers, 13 casters, and around 1700 visitors met on the weekend of 2nd and 3rd April for a joyful reunion for one of the first events of spring.
 |
 |
 |
 |
The conditions for the start of events and the fly fishing scene could hardly have been more difficult. Despite Corona, an overnight change to the Infection Protection Law, the onset of winter and snowfall, and closures on motorways, there was a big hello and lively exchange between visitors, exhibitors, and the invited special participants.
Ian Gordon certainly had the longest journey of all...... After leaving his home at 5am on Thursday morning, he did not arrive at the airport in Munich until midnight on Friday due to delays, breakdowns, and IT problems at London Airport. He had made every effort to finally meet his friends, acquaintances, and customers again at the EWF.
Weather-related delays in the delivery of materials and products were taken sportingly by the exhibitors, who did not let them change their positive mood.
 |
 |
 |
 |
Due to the bad weather, the beer garden was turned into an indoor beer garden without further ado and was, as usual, very well attended. The lecture hall was therefore moved to a theatre hall. About 550 listeners followed the 18 lectures and live tying demonstrations.
13 casters showed their casting demonstrations at the temporarily frozen casting pool ... Thibaut Giband climbed into the pool under snowfall, Hans-Ruedi Hebeisen cast into his 80s in wintry conditions. Stanislav Mankov, as a Bulgarian caster used to warmer domains, tried casting under special conditions and for Trond Syrstad as well as Mathias Lilleheim it was partly home conditions. One advantage of the white splendour was, according to visitors' comments: "... the fact that the pool surface was frozen and covered in snow made it possible to follow the length of the line and the emergence of the fly very closely.”
 |
 |
 |
 |
The special exhibition "Angling in the middle of society" attracted many interested visitors to their stand. Among other things, people talked shop there, got ideas for new projects, and were able to take away lots of specialist information in the form of brochures, posters, etc.
More than 40 fly tyers, including several familiar and new faces, tied their popular patterns. The fly tying clinic, held for the second time, was very well received and attended.
 |
 |
 |
 |
The children's programme was well attended, especially the children's fly tying was again very popular and the team around Lara Schreiber and Horst Burgstaller welcomed many new young faces at the tying tables.
The beginners and ladies programmes were again well attended and there was an enthusiastic reunion here after three years.
At the announcement of the winners of the 15th Open German Championship in Fly Tying, a number of prize winners were present, which made the ceremony particularly joyful. The presentation of the frame of honour to Horst Burgstaller, which took place in this context, was a more than successful surprise.

Fantastic Feedback and Pictures of the Double-Hand-Course - The Highlight after the 2022 EWF!
|
Many thanks to Ian, Tom, Glenda and Paddy for great two days! From the first minutes onwards this was my personal highlight from the EWF. A MUST for everyone who wants to understand double-handed casting and wants to perfect their technique. The international team of instructors, warmly and with great enthusiasm for their passion, teach double-handed casting in a way that is personalised to each participant’s skill. |
||
 |
 |
 |
| The double-handed course immediately after the EWF was an enrichment on so many levels! Glenda, Paddy, Ian, and Tom were fantastic and have bettered everyone on the course: From the people just dipping a toe in the water, who had never fished with a two-handed rod before; up to the ambitious caster wanting to improve the fine details of their technique. We even had some Irish whiskey, to round off the perfect day! (Doron) | ||
| Explained in a simple and comprehensible way - - Warmly: That is the best way to describe the casting course with Ian, Glenda, Paddy, and Tom. I personally was able to take away a lot from the course, lessons which will ring in my ears and help me to continue developing my technique in the months and years to come. My passion is now fiercely burning and I can’t wait to participate again next year! Thank you!!! (Olaf) |
||
The two-handed course was great again! And with all the enthusiasm we forgot all about the cold and the snow. Of course, it was a luxury that we had 4 instructors. After a two years break, it was really important to practice again for the fishing trips. Now I've gotten the finishing touches to it and feel ready for the salmon.  (Andrea) |
||
| Number 1, It was an absolute great experience the EWF but also the spey casting course. Thank you! Also to the team who made this happen. Absolutely perfect organized. (Bert) | ||

Since 2013 the EWF, its exhibitors, and many of its visitors have supported the work of the Ambulant Children’s Hospice in Munich with a stand at the EWF and with donations.

The AKM will again this year have a stand and present its work at the EWF. In prior years we have sold, for the benefit of the AKM, fly boxes containing 10 of the flies submitted in prior years for the German Open Fly Tying Championship or donated flies from many fly tyers.

Very good is that the EWF will, as usual, take place over the full area of the Fürstenfeld Event Forum and monastery grounds. That means, in detail: The very popular casting demonstrations will again take place at the large casting pool. Thibaut Giband - Scott/Scientific Anglers, Jan Kubala and Pino Messina - Vision, Glenda Powell and Ian Gordon - Cadence (A new brand at the EWF -- the first demo rods were already presented last autumn), Christopher Rownes - Guideline, Trond Syrstad - LTS, Klaus Frimor - Loop, and, for the first time, Stanislav Mankov from Bulgaria. More to follow. Very popular last fall were the casting and test stations of the individual exhibitors on the outdoor show grounds and those will be continued in the same format this spring. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |

|
Of course, there will also again be presentations about fly fishing. Visitors will find over 40 fly tyers on the stages and exhibition stands showing both their newest and well-known fly patterns.

All are welcome and will be assisted by the dedicated EWF Team when learning our hobby. Fly fishing women will again this year be able to talk about their questions and wishes with Glenda Powell from Ireland at her stand on the ground floor of the Tenne or with Ramona Hani, enthusiastic fly fisher from Austria, at the stand of the Austrian Fishing Club (Österreichische Fischereigesellschaft e.v. gegr. 1880). Both are always happy to have a lively exchange. Very popular in autumn was the beginners’ program in the Tenne. As a result, Hans Eiber (an old hand in this program) and Rainer Roth again invite all interested “newbies” and fly fishing beginners to their stand. There you will encounter comprehensive advice and presentation of fly fishing equipment, clothing, and everything else related. They will help you select the appropriate equipment. It will also be possible to test immediately the equipment on the outdoor grounds. |
