Long - standing Southport fly fishing experience second to none
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.

Addendum:
Here are a few shots of SFF club trophies that I have won. I joined the SFF club in the 1981 - 82 period.
