Southport Fly Fishers (SFF) Regular, takes the Trophy Again - Updated 2

This is an old blog of mine that I have updated with more images, etc. 

Long - standing Southport fly fishing experience second to none

As the report stated... 

Pat Regan has won the best bag limit (trout) trophy three years in succession. This is the sixth time Pat has won this fly fishing trophy. Moreover, Southport Fly Fishers (SFF) has created a new class of ‘Honorary Membership’ for Frank Porter (club member since 1980 and our longest serving member) and John Wilkins (club member since 1983). These fine members have worked unstintingly over many seasons for SFF.

Thanks also to the Southport Visiter for uploading this story:

Here are a few shots of SFF club trophies that I have won. I joined the SFF club in July 1982.  

Above: I was presented with this keepsake at our local game fayre, after demonstrating fly dressing for our fly fishing club in 1993. I also ran many fly dressing classes for the club in the evenings. 

Salmon and trout SFF trophies I've gained over the years since the 1980s. 

UPDATE: I am the longest serving SFF member
