WFFC rules

Five rounds with a duration of three hours of fly fishing are fished at five different geographical locations (sectors), chosen by the host nation beforehand for its abundant trout and game fish populations. All fish caught are measured for length rather than weight and are returned to the water alive.[1] Points are awarded to the most successful anglers and section points per round according to placing, with the winner receiving one point; the lowest overall score wins.
