These 16 talented youngsters will face off against sides from hosts Ireland, Scotland and Wales, starting this Sunday, July 26 and finishing on Friday July 31, continuing a proud tradition of youth fly fishing that has helped develop many of the sport’s top international anglers. After months of training, preparation and teamwork, the squad is ready to test themselves against the very best.
“It’s been fantastic to watch this squad grow in confidence, skill and teamwork as we prepare for the Youth Loch Style International,” said Tim Wellman. “Every member of the squad has worked incredibly hard to earn their place, and I know they will represent England with pride, respect and determination. We wish every one of them the very best in Ireland.”
“I’m equally excited about what comes after the competition,” he continued. “This group has the passion to inspire the next generation of young fly fishers, and their involvement in our future community initiatives will help ensure England Youth Fly Fishing continues to grow for years to come.”
