"Seth and Tim, we appreciate your continued support!"  - John Knight


The America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament is pleased to invite you to one of the best fly fishing venues in the United States. The Town of Frisco in Summit County Colorado is hosting this fly fishing event in the true heartland of high mountain trout territory.

Event Agenda

The Event - August 22th-28th 2009.
August 22nd - Free concert in Frisco  featuring Dicky Betts of the Allman Brothers Band and Tab Benoit
August 23rd thru the 25th will be optional practice days
August 26th – tournament fishing day - rivers
August 27th – tournament fishing day - rivers
August 28th – tournament fishing day – lakes (3/4 day)
August 28th – awards dinner in the evening

The event format will be a ‘Fishing Rally’. Each team will meet in the morning at the Scoring Center where a controller will be assigned to each 2 man team. The team will then take a single vehicle and fish any public water they want. The accompanying Controller must measure and record scoring fish. There will be a set time to return to the Scoring Center and failure to return on time results in a points deduction penalty.  Planning and execution are critical to winning.
Fish the water you know, the way you know!

All Controllers Please Step Forward - Volunteers Needed We need controllers to assist at this competition.  The job is not hard and you get to quiz some of the top anglers in the world.  A Controller is assigned to a Team, measuring and recording the catch. It’s an opportunity to watch and learn from many of the best Fly fisherman in the world. If you are looking to compete in a future event, this is a great way to learn the event process and to watch the stealthy techniques of some world class fly fishermen.
