World fly fishing championships 2024 Team England

Hi, my name is James Atkinson I am a current member of the England fly fishing team. We are raising money to be able to compete in this years world championships (more details below). In return for any donations you will receive:

£10 - A set of flies from the team

£20 - A full leader set up of your choice, designed to help your catch rate increase. E.g full euro nymphing set up

£50 - A 1-1 Q&A with a team member to answer all your fishing questions

£200 - A day fishing with one of the country and indeed world's best anglers (available country wide, within reason)

In late June of this year we are heading to the French Pyrenees to compete for the title of world champions. This involves a 2 week trip, 1 week of preparation and practice and then 1 week of competing, with each angler competing in 5 separate session on 5 different venues. This is a team even with 5 anglers and a reserve travelling to this event. This year it will be myself, Scott Nellins, Sean Brooks, Tony Baldwin, Chris Richardson and Howard Croston. With multiple caps and vast experience shared between the team members including a past individual and world champion in Howard Croston, we are hoping to bring back a medal. However, these trips have no government funding and we are reliant on sponsors and donors to make this happen. The cost of these trips is huge, inviting entry fees, travel accommodation kit etc; on average the cost per angler is about £3,500, so we need your help!!
