The America cup is going back to Fipps-Mouche style tournament please see the website for rules and venues to be fished. Also we are looking for controllers for the event 1 day or all 3 days what ever you can do. This is a great chance to see some of the best in the world fish. Teams that are coming to include Australia,Japan and a Allstar team from Europe. And a few from the US. There are some spots still left.

That sounds like a blast Dave! I'm itching to field a team, but it looks like it won't be this year. Never really got to spend much time on those rivers when I lived in Denver.

This picture of Bret always cracks me up from when you guys had to pen up the trout and measure them at the end. Reminds me of some old pic from the 40s or something (obviously ignoring the high tech gear):

Glad to hear that they are adopting FIPS rules. Might consider coming next year, as this year doesn't work for me...

Another good reason to always carry two nets

That first cup was quite an experience. I think I lost 10 lbs running around as a controller on the Lower Ark. I learned a lot watching the Polish team fish. Also learned a lot watching all of the Team USA guys attack their beats.

Looks to be a good one!

Dave,

Am I reading correctly that the registration fee does not include lodging during the competition dates?

Dave Pehle · « **Reply #9 on:** February 25, 2010, 10:45:45 AM »

Loren
It doesn't cover the lodging this year. It covers all transportation during the event to and from the rivers, lunch and water each day, Awards dinner. We are working with local resturants and lodgers to give discounts to all teams coming to fish not just for the 3 days but before and after the cup .
