***THE EVENT WILL NOW BE FISHED AT BLAGDON LAKE***

Due to lower than usual oxygen levels on Chew Valley Lake earlier in the week, Bristol Water Fisheries has recommended switching the Wychwood Fly Fishing Championships to Blagdon Lake next weekend – 17th & 18th August.

We of course agree to this advice and are thankful to Bristol Water for all their help in switching venues at such short notice.

Blagdon has also been fishing very well recently, so we hope all competitors enjoy one of the biggest matches ever held at this iconic venue.

£1000 Top Prize

Now is the time to book your place in the 2024 Wychwood Individual Fly Fishing Championship.

The first 100 FULLY PAID ENTRIES will automatically progress to the Grand Final at Chew Valley Lake on Sunday 18th August 2024.

Practice Day boats have also been booked for the previous day and are not available via the Fishery – you will be notified with further details once your entry has been confirmed.

We were well oversubscribed in under 4 hours when the Entries were officially opened last year, so please follow the instructions on your confirmation email, as entry is only provisional until payment has been made.

This year we will have a closing date for entries on 30th June in order to allow ample time for competitors to book accommodation and to confirm numbers with the Fishery.

With Wychwood as our new masthead sponsor, the future of this great Event is assured and I look forward to welcoming competitors – new and old – to this year’s Championship.
