Tom Chandler surmises it’s a positive step:
Most of the growth in “outdoor” sports is occurring courtesy a competitive angle (e.g. competitive bass fishing, competitive hunting, “action” pistol events, retriever competition, etc.), yet competitive fly fishing has yet to take hold in the USA (despite several attempts)…
And while regular readers know I’m hardly a cheerleader for the fly fishing industry, I do think this is an idea with merit.
I’m not keen on distance competitions, but I suspect target casting on a course would be a reel hoot (pun intended) for some.
