Fly Tying
Casting

1. Fly Tying

For our younger visitors, we are once again offering our traditional fly-tying for children and teenagers at the EWF. Here you can tie flies to your heart's content and invent new patterns!

Fly tying competition:

Competition will be in two age groups:

  • Ages 12 and under
  • Ages 13 - 16

Tying Time for the competition:
Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm
Sunday, 9 am – 1:30 pm

Prices:
The best tyers will receive certificates and special prizes.

Rules:

  • We have enough material that can be used for tying, thus, please do not bring your own.
  • The competition fly should be tied without much outside help. (We will of course still assist with the head knot and smaller insecurities.)

Evaluation and Price Awarding:
An on-site jury will judge the flies. The evaluation of the flies and the subsequent awarding of the prices will take place on Sunday at 3 pm at the fly tying table for children and teenagers. Winners who are not present at that time will be notified in writing.

Special thanks go to
We are most grateful to all the sponsors as well as to Lara Schreiber and Horst Burgstaller, who organise the programme and coordinate it onsite.
Thank you to Leonie and Hubert Hartmann who will join the EWF fly tying team of the kids' fly tying programme.

2. Casting

Dear young fly fishers, the casting programme will be available for you again.

On both EWF days, children and young people can join Adrian, Josef, Sebastian and Cora at the pool to cast the fly rod, to test, to try out and and and.

It doesn't matter whether you have cast a fly rod before or not! The instructors show you how to handle the fly fishing tackle and give tips and suggestions.
