Recognizing that attracting young anglers to the joys and challenges of fly fishing would provide much-needed new lifeblood, in the late 1990s Jack Simpson introduced a proposal to establish the FIPS-Mouche Youth World Fly Fishing Championship and Conservation Symposium (YWFFC). The concept was accepted, and the first event was held in 1998 in Wales. It was deemed an outstanding success, with 60 youths ranging in age from 14 to 18 years representing eight countries. Competitions have since been held across the World. Fly Fishing Canada recognizes the need to continue to focus on grass roots events and grow the Youth of this sport.
