Since 2016 Medals UK have been working with Lee Cummings the Director of UK Fly Casting Sport Ltd and organizer of The 2018 Fly Casting World Championships to create the medals for what is believed to be the largest international fly casting competition in history.

The event champions diversity and opportunity within the sport and have classes for both men and women to compete and welcome competitors of all ages.

Officially opened on the 16th August 2018 by the Secretary of the Norwegian Casting Federation the competition runs for three days, with the final award ceremony on the final evening where Medals UK Ltd’s bespoke sports pendants will be presented to the best sports fly casters in the world.
