The Festival
The Wild Trout Association’s flyfishing festival has developed into four days a flyfishing and five evening of talking about flyfishing and much more. Established in 1996, it has been an annual feature on the flyfishing enthusiasts calendar. It is the single most important opportunity for monitoring the region’s wild trout populations by way of daily catch returns submitted by participants.
