The Management Board of the PZW Słupsk District is organising float and casting competitions on 26 May 2019 as part of the SŁUPSK YOUTH ANGLING OLYMPICS. A competitor’s result will include tests on their knowledge of the PZW Amateur Fishing Regulations.
The fishing competitions will be held using live bait at Łabędzi Pond in Słupsk. The casting competition will take place on the grounds adjacent to the Police Academy, whilst the tests will be held in the lecture hall of the Police Academy Shooting Range on Orzeszkowej Street.
We invite teams of three pupils from primary schools within the area covered by the Słupsk Branch of the Polish Angling Association (PZW) to take part in the competition.
The competition will be held in both individual and team categories. Due to the limited number of fishing spots at the venue, participation will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Competitors should bring their own keepnets for storing the fish they catch. At the fishing ground, the amount of groundbait is limited to 3 litres per competition session. Competitors and supervisors are to assemble at Łabędzi Pond, next to the fountain, on 26 May at 7.00 am.
Entries will be accepted at the PZW Regional Office or by telephone on 59/8436341 by 20 May at the latest.
