The top anglers could earn a place on the U.S. team that goes to the World Fly Fishing Championship in New Zealand next year.
There are four regional trials and usually 40-50 anglers compete in each, according to Paul Prentiss of Boulder, Colo., one of the Team USA managers.

Nationals will be in October in streams along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains near Boulder.
