The 2012 European Championships are being hosted by Portugal in the Coimbra Region from the 13th to the 20th May. It appears to be in the same region as the 2006 World Fly Fishing Championships so it could well be a very tough championship going on the previous one. The only info coming out from Portugal is that there is 5 river sessions or 4 rivers and 1 lake session if there is more than 15 teams entered. More info and clarification will be posted once known.
