A look at the highly competitive sport
Every year, hundreds of anglers from England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland compete for a place on their country's International Fly Fishing Team. These places are keenly sought, and the standard is extremely high.
Competitive Fly Fishing is a skilled sport, where competitors cast lines from a small boat, using carefully chosen flies as bait which they hope will attract lots of fish - the aim being to catch as many big ones as possible in the allotted time.
To secure your place on the team, you have to first get through a series of heats, and Caroline Barbour went along to one of them to meet some of the women hoping to make it onto the Scottish Team.
