2nd Annual Pennsylvania Fly Casting Championship Sept. 6

Fly casters will gather at the Carlisle Fairgrounds Sports and Outdoor Nationals show September 6 for the 2nd Annual Pennsylvania Fly Casting Championship.  
Co-hosted by the Cumberland Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Chesapeake Council of the International Federation of Fly Fishers, and the Antietam Fly Anglers, contestants will cast simulated flies at 30-inch targets arrayed between 20-65 feet from the “casting box.”  
Contestants will then move to the “distance” range where they will attempt to place their flies within a narrow 10-foot wide lane as far as they can cast.  Casting a fly with accuracy and at distance will determine the “best of the best” fly casters.
Adult men and women are invited to compete in “expert” and “intermediate” categories; boys and girls may compete in the “youth” category.  Contestants need not be Pennsylvania residents to enter.  Plaques will be awarded to the top three competitors in each category.
Sponsored prizes may be presented to the winners.
For information, contest rules, and registration form, check the Cumberland Valley TU website.
