2010 Lydia Ann Fly Masters Tournament
Hello, and welcome to the website for the
2010 LYDIA ANN FLY MASTERS TOURNAMENT.
The organization of the tournament is comprised of a partnership between Alamo
Fly Fishers of San Antonio,Rockport Fly Fishers, and Palmer Simpson
OUR MISSION:
- to create the PREMIER annual Fly Fishing and Catch and Release
Tournament for the Texas Coast,
- and to donate EVERY DOLLAR possible to the chosen beneficiary for that
particular year.
TOURNAMENT DATE: JULY 17, 2010
The purpose of the LYDIA ANN FLY MASTERS tournament is to bring Fly Fishing
anglers from all over the State of Texas, as well as other States, to compete for
prizes, share in the enjoyment of fishing the flats, and have a good time; all the
while never losing focus of the main reason for being there - to help support a
wonderful charitable organization.
The 2010 Beneficiary will be CASTING FOR RECOVERY. Please visit the "2010
Beneficiary" page to learn more about their cause, and to make additional on-line
donations.
Aransas Pass was chosen as the center for the tournament due to its mostly
equidistant location to Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. It is also close to the
heart of the flats that many of us love to fly fish.
The tournament is open to both Boating Anglers and Kayaking Anglers with
separate divisions for each. Redfish on the fly and Catch and Release are the
objectives, but there are also "Open Species" divisions for both the Boaters and
Kayakers just to make things interesting. There is also a Children's Division to
encourage the tournament to be a family-oriented event.
For a more complete description of the Tournament Format and Rules please visit
the "Rules & Format" page within the website for a downloadable version. A
downloadable Application is also available on the "Application & Info" page.
We are striving to make the tournament as attractive as we can to all anglers by
allowing everyone to "launch and load" from any destination they choose, and by
having separate divisions for the Boaters and Kayakers.
We are working with numerous Sponsors to offer quality prizes for the top finishing
anglers, as well as Raffle and Silent Auction Items. We encourage everyone that
participates in the tournament or visits this site to support these fine and generous
Sponsors.
