Australia first entered the World Fly Fishing Championships in May 1987 as an invitation team.
This
was done on the understandingthat for Australia to be involved in
future competitions, an organisation representing our country and
recognised by the International Federation of Sport Fishing, would be
formed.
Fly Fish Australia Incorporated
(FFA) was formed in 1989 and became the recognised body by the
International Federation of Sport Fishing for the purpose of selecting
teams to represent Australia.
The Board
reserves the certain rights with regard to certain matters in the final
team selection process, but this is done through the team selection
panel which is charged with the responsibility of ensuring the best
team for the competition type is chosen.
There are now essentially two principal rules that apply for fly fishers to gain selection to an Australian Team.
Firstly,
they must be financial members of Fly Fish Australia and, secondly,
they must have qualified in competitions which comply with the rules of
Fly Fish Australia.
