The weekend of July 13-15, 2010, the best of the best fly fishing and light-tackle fishing champions in the world will converge on the Islamorada backcountry to compete in the 10th annual Florida Keys Outfitters / IGFA Inshore World Championship.
According to organizers, invitations for the prestigious Islamorada backcountry fishing tournament are being sent to the winners of 42 qualifying fishing tournaments held in 2009 in the U.S., Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden, Belize, the Bahamas and Australia.
Anglers and the media have described the three day all-release backcountry fishing championship event as the "super bowl of inshore fishing." All five of the targeted species -- bonefish, tarpon, permit, redfish and snook -- can be readily found in the unique Florida Bay fishery centrally located in Islamorada near mile marker 82 in the Florida Keys. Fishing and scoring takes place from the World Wide Sportsman's Bayside Marina. The Islander Resort is the event's headquarters.
