DRAFT PROGRAMME FOR THE 5TH FEEDER FISHING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2015 IN TERNEUZEN Dear angling friends, Sportvisserij Nederland is delighted to invite you to participate in the 5th Feeder Fishing World Championship, which will be held between 6 and 12 July 2015 on the Gent- Terneuzen Canal, Zeelandic Flanders, in the south of the Netherlands. The world championship will be organised by Sportvisserij Nederland, in cooperation with Sportvisserij Zuidwest Nederland and the ONI angling society. Sportvisserij Nederland represents (competitive) anglers and their angling societies across the Netherlands and has existed as an angling organisation for over 100 years. Sportvisserij Nederland currently supports the interests of more than 550,000 anglers around the country. Over time, Sportvisserij Nederland has organised a large number of coarse and saltwater world championships, the most recent being: Salt-water Team World Championship (2002), Salt-water Boat Fishing World Championship (2008), Coarse Land Fishing World Championship (2009), Coarse Fishing Ladies' World Championship (2012) Salt-water Coastal Fishing Ladies'/Men's World Championship (2012) and the Junior Coarse Fishing World Championship (2014). We are pleased to be continuing this tradition by organising the Feeder Fishing World Championship and Salt-water Coastal Fishing Junior World Championship in 2015. We look forward to welcoming your country to the Gent-Terneuzen sea canal, where between Westdorpe and Terneuzen a competition course of around 4 kilometres awaits you. Enjoy the area of Zeelandic Flanders, close to the border with Belgium. Menno Knip Chairman of Sportvisserij Nederland
PERIOD OF THE FEEDER FISHING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2015 Arrival of participating countries on Sunday 5 July 2015 Departure of participating countries on Monday 13 July 2015 COURSE The 5th Feeder Fishing World Championship will be held in the Gent-Terneuzen Canal, which stretches around 14 km in the Netherlands. The championship will be held on the eastern side of the sea canal, between Westdorpe and the start of the harbours in Terneuzen. There is a cycle path along the whole course and a wide bank on both sides. Participants' cars can be parked at the canal dyke during the competition days on 11 and 12 July 2015. During the training days, cars can also be parked along the cycle path. The canal has a width of around 150 metres and is around 2 metres deep at the bank, 4 metres deep at a distance of 13 metres from the bank and 12 metres deep in the centre. The bank consists of basalt blocks and grass on clay soil. The current is moderate and depends partly on the sea locks at Terneuzen. Since the canal is close to the Westerschelde estuary, the water is fairly brackish in Terneuzen and becomes fresher towards Westdorpe. The fish stock consists of large roach, bream and bass as well as flounder and mullet. During the 2015 Feeder Fishing World Championship, pike and eel may not be kept in keepnets. If they are caught, they must be released immediately. During the world championship, there will be no minimum sizes for fish caught.
THE LOCATION AND HOW TO GET THERE Westdorpe is a village to the south of the harbour town of Terneuzen, on the Zeelandic Flanders peninsula, in the province of Zeeland. The peninsula borders Belgium on the south side. The peninsula is linked to the Zeeland mainland and the rest of the Netherlands through the Westerschelde tunnel. On the south side you can drive straight into Belgium and reach Antwerp in around half an hour. There are no big cities in Zeelandic Flanders but there are plenty of picturesque villages, each with their own character and worth a visit.
