ENGLAND YOUTH FLYFISHING ASSOCIATION - EYFA was established in 1985 to develop and promote excellence in our sport for young people between the ages of 12 and 19. Each year we fish with the other home nations in the Loch Style International, meet with other countries from around the World for the World Championships as well as organise our own loch style and Rivers Championships. After successfully competing in the 4th World Championships in Czech Republic during 2005 and winning the Fair Play award, the rivers of Northern Portugal are the next World venue in July.Interested in fishing for England? Helping organise or support the future of our sport?

The Spring Flyfishing show helps fund the EYFA at the show through comptetitions and supplying a free stand and advertising in our show guide. Show your support to the EYFA at the show.



ANGLERS' CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION - The ACA was established in 1948 with the aim of protecting the lakes and rivers of the United Kingdom from pollution. The ACA’s legal team of in-house environmental solicitors represents ACA member clubs and riparian owners in legal proceedings. We win damages from offenders who cause pollution damage or other harm to fisheries. We also advise clubs and riparian owners across the whole range of angling and related law. Over the years, the ACA has taken on many thousands of cases against polluters and those who damage fisheries, recovering many millions of pounds in damages. All of this is free to clubs and owners who join the ACA. Can you afford not to be a member ?



THE GRAYLING SOCIETY - From very modest beginnings in 1977 and a handful of original members, the Society has grown internationally. At this date, more than 250 of our members live and fish for Grayling outside the United Kingdom. Membership of the Society provides you with an opportunity to make a direct contribution to the conservation of perhaps the most beautiful of all wild game fish. In return for your support, the Grayling Society will provide you with a range of benefits - principally aimed at informing you about the Grayling and its habitat - offering advice on fishing and helping you to keep in touch with other like minded anglers throughout the world. The Society in the UK is divided into areas - see map - each with a secretary and many have an administrative committee. The Central Committee of the Society is also based in the UK. Currently, the Society has members in a total of 18 countries around the World, with Overseas Secretaries in Europe, Scandinavia and Canada.

THE FLY DRESSERS GUILD -


England Ladies Flyfishing Association. The England Ladies Flyfishing Association will be holding a raffle each day with some great prizes to be won. Draws will take place at 3 .30 pm on both Sat and Sun. This is an invaluable fund raiser for both the National and European teams who have to fund most of the cost themselves. The home international is on Grafam reservoir in 2007 and the European team are travelling to Norway – each event being very expensive to organise.
We will also be promoting CFR UK and Ireland ( casting for recovery). This is a project will offer women who have breast cancer the chance to get away for a 3 day retreat which will incorporate some fly fishing in a wonderful surroundings of Duncton Mill. More details about this will be explained in our Sunday morning Lecture and slide show in one of the theatres.

The E.L.F.A. was first formed in 1989 and has gone from strength to strength since then. The aim of the association is to promote fly fishing by, for, and amongst ladies. We now have over one hundred members. We annually hold a number of get-togethers, some of them match orientated, others just an opportunity for ladies to fish together. We also hold fund raising events such as the mixed pairs and an auction in May. The major event in our calendar is the National, which is held in the autumn. The results from this determine the team that will represent England in the International the following year. To date we have competed in thirteen Internationals and the team have won eight gold medals.

All GAIA members are fully qualified instructors holding at least one of the following qualifications. APGAI, STANIC, SGAIC, Level 2 CCA in at least one of three disciplines
