2013 The America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament

Vail, CO. USA September 10-15, 2013

2013 The America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament 

The America Cup has two primary goals.  The first is to provide program support to groups in need of the rehabilitation properties that fishing can provide and to produce competitive fishing events at national and international levels and to facilitate successful fishing competitions that promote and display both national and international talent in the world of competitive fishing.


Thank you to all the competitors, volunteers, controllers, drivers, ranch owners, sponsors, and the Town of Vail for participating and making The Cup a great success this year!
