Pete and Mike were back on their feet this morning for the final day of practice before the official start for the World Masters Fly Fishing Championships. They weren’t moving fast and can barely eat anything yet but it’s a major improvement from yesterday’s onslaught of food poisoning here in the Czech Republic.
Today was our first day without the help of David Chlumsky. David is one of the main organizers of the championships so he’s going to be busy with that from here on out. He set us straight though and when we got to the Morava River we did just fine. Everyone caught a bunch of brown trout and grayling and we had a great time. We all feel very confident that we are going to do well in this competition.
In addition to the fishing we enjoyed a nice outdoor lunch at a cool pub along the river. The weather was gorgeous. Pete couldn’t put down a beer yet but Mike was able too. A good sign for sure.
Next move for us is get our stuff in order for the competition. We don’t fish tomorrow but we will attend the official ceremonies and then get checked into the competition hotel which is near Zábřeh. I could go dark a few days here but as always, I’ll catch up on blogs as soon as I can.
Good Luck Buddy! Hope you guys do well and cant wait to read the updates!
