Karel MACH
Chairman of Czech Angling Union

Angling has had more than 100 years long tradition in the Czech Republic, with around 300,000 registered anglers. Besides fish breeding and care of fisheries, it also includes the care of young anglers and the organization of sport competitions in various disciplines. I am also very proud of the Czech representatives in international competitions who always compete for the highest ranks and help to make a good name for our country. The opportunity to organise the World Fly Fishing Championships, the royal discipline of the angling sport, on home waters is a huge opportunity and commitment which I believe that the Organising Committee, thanks to their long experience, will manage to organise everything perfectly. As I come from West Bohemia, I am very happy that one of the competition sectors will also be on the Otava River, so that fly fishing fans from our region will have the opportunity to take part in the organization of this prestigious Championship.

Karel KORANDA
Chairman of the South Bohemian Board of the Czech Anglin Union

We have had many years of experience in organizing fly-fishing competitions at various levels and they are a very good promotion of the Czech Republic and South Bohemia in the world, because many of their participants return to our country later, just to fish and explore the beauties of the region with their families. The connection with West Bohemia and the involvement of the two large rivers the Vltava and the Otava, which springs in the Bohemian Forest, provides the upcoming World Championships. As an additional dimension, I believe that together with the Organizing Committee we will manage to organize the competitions to the satisfaction of all participants. I wish all the competitors to enjoy the competitions, visit beautiful places around the waters in their free time, and maybe return back with their families and friends. My fingers are crossed for all participants, as we could see last year, fly fishing is a very complex and physically demanding sport, meaning that only the best can win.

Dear colleagues, fly fishing friends, it is a great honor for us that we have the opportunity to organize the World Championship in fly fishing, the royal discipline of sport fishing, in the Czech republic again after 11 years in May 2025. In 2024, we hosted the WC in the categories of ladies, masters and juniors, and it was an important test for the entire organizational team. We hope that the organization of the upcoming senior World Cup will therefore be a little easier. The center of the championship will be the Wellness Hotel Frymburk, which has a very advantageous position due to the location of the competition sectors and it will also provide all participants with comfortable facilities.
We hope competitors enjoy fishing diverse sectors which will test all fly fishing skills. Three sectors will be marked on the Vltava River (Loučovice Devil stones, Vyšší Brod, Rožmberk), the next sector will be a boat competiton on the Lipno II reservoir in Vyšší Brod. We are very happy that we have reached an agreement with the West Bohemian Board of the CRS and Rybářství Klatovy s.r.o. and we will also organize one sector on the Otava River. We will provide the competitors with another interesting experience and challenge, the center of the sector will be the Ottava 6 trophy section. We will also enable the involvement of members of the surrounding local organizations in the course of the championship in the role of controllers. The Květoňov reservoir and the Volyňka river will be reserve sectors in case of high water. The detailed program and description of the sectors can be found below, we are also preparing further follow-up events for spectators and visitors. We believe that you too will take advantage of this opportunity and visit beautiful and interesting places in the vicinity of fly fishing competitions, because the whole of southern and western Bohemia is worth a visit. We apologize to ordinary anglers for the short-term restriction of sport fishing on the affected areas and hope that this will be compensated by the increased stocking paid for from the championship budget.
On behalf of the organizing committee of the WC, we would like to invite all those interested in top fly fishing to either participate in the role of controllers, or come to watch the competitions, or follow them via the Internet and social networks. We believe that we will manage to organize this event to the satisfaction of all participants.
