Tregaron Festival6th International Youth Rivers Festival Tregaron 2008At the end of the Spring bank holiday week, the Youth from EYFA and our Welsh counterparts WSTAA, met up again for the annual rivers Festival at Tregaron in west Wales. Over 30 youth members joined in the fun, many to experience river fishing for the first time. Armed with a new set of skills, everyone caught fish, lots of fish! 5th International Youth Rivers Festival English and Welsh Youth joined together in Tregaron for the 5th International Youth Rivers Festival at the beginning of June. The weekend event introduced many youth anglers to rivers, the habitats and wildlife they support the techniques and skills to catch fish and most importantly in a safe and friendly environment. At the beginning of June the River Teifi was in perfect condition. Rain two weeks earlier had replenished flows and judicious stocking by Cymdeithas Pysgota Tregaron Angling Association in partnership with the Environment Agency meant there were plenty of fish to tempt with the fly. 2nd International Rivers FestivalThe English and Welsh youth fly-fishing teams have been meeting in competition since 1985. However for the past two years the English Youth Flyfishers Association and Welsh Salmon and Trout Angling Association, have been working in close partnership with Cymdeithas Pysgota Tregaron Angling Association (CPTAA) developing the International Youth Rivers Festival on the River Teifi at Tregaron in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. |
