*** ENTRIES OPEN WEDS 20th May at 6:00pm***

The 2026 Cortland Fly Fishing Team Championship.

This year’s 2 day Event will be held on both Chew Valley & Blagdon Lakes on the weekend of 5th & 6th September 2026.

The Championship will feature Teams of 6 anglers and entries are invited from all over the UK and Europe. There is no need to belong to a recognised Club – simply get a group of 6 friends together and apply online.

Please note that Teams who have previously entered have been sent an Invitation, but it is also an Open Event and entries will be treated on a “first come, first served” basis.

A total of 18 teams will compete – teams must allocate 2 anglers to fish Blagdon and the other 4 to fish on Chew Valley.  Boats have been reserved for 2 days prior to the Final for official practice.

The English National Final will also be held on Chew Valley Lake just 20 days later and this is a great opportunity to fish this amazing lake and get accustomed to how it fishes!

We will hold a Presentation Dinner and Prize Winners Ceremony immediately after the Event on the evening of 6th September 2026 in The Woodford Restaurant.
