Brief history

[edit]

The inaugural world championship was held in West Germany in 1954 and won by team England,[9] with the first individual title going to Gino Vigarani of Italy.[10] In 1992, Dave Wesson, an Australian, became the only non-European to win the title.[11] The 2020 World Freshwater Angling Championships was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic[12] but resumed in 2021.[13] The host nation have been team champions on 15 occasions, with the strongest nation at home being Italy who have won on their own waters 6 times, the others were Belgium 2, France, Luxembourg, Romania, East Germany, West Germany, England, Spain.[11] The host nation has produced a home grown individual world champion from just 9 events of the 67 fished (one in seven).[14]
