Regulations
- For the "Dry Fly" category, one pattern is required and a second should be your own pattern. This means that the contestant must submit two flies, the required pattern and his or her own pattern.
- It is not required that the flies be tyed on Daiichi hooks. Any brand of hook can be used in all categories if the participant cannot obtain Daiichi hooks.
- A fly tyer can compete in all categories.
- Very important: participants must follow the requirements, otherwise the submitted fly patterns will not be evaluated, that is, they will be disqualified.
Jury and Evaluation of the Submitted Flies
The evaluation of the flies will take place at the EWF 2018. We are very pleased to present our jury members:
- Gerd-Peter Wieditz - Germany
- Roman Moser - Austria

Awards
After the flies are judged, every participant will receive a promotional package of Daiichi hooks.
