From the begining of creation and organizing this event, with so many interests, we knew that this tournament will be a very interesting with a healthy and quality competition. First of all, river Bečva is not an mountain river and as such it's configuration is very different. From calm river parts to parts with strong current and stream. In addition to that on this tournament applied best competitors in the world. So, for a best qualifications, from competitors was expected no any mistakes.
In front organization team of TUCAS Sport Fishing Association and our mutual friend Stanislav Pernicky, as representative of the host, with city Valašske Meziriči and Czech Fishing Comittee organization of Trout Union Cup was a very big challenge. We needed to secure everything on a highest possible level. Long preparation and previous experience was necessary. Every compliment must be given to a selfless help from hosts and all other who participate in organization in any way.
On this occasion River Bečva was restocked by 1.300 kg of rainbow and brown trout in schedule: for training with 200 kg, for 1st day of competition with 600 kg and for a 2nd day of competition with 500 kg. Fish was mixed sizes between 200 grams and 800 grams but mostly sized around 200-300 grams. Also, river Bečva have a naturally big population of wild trouts where some specimen units are very well sized which provide unforgetable fight when cought.
