The Windsor Cup.

The Windsor Cup was cast in 1963 and is nearing it's 50th birthday in 2013. The Cup is contested for on the last Saturday in June and only on the fly in the Waitahanui River. A long and colourful history is part of the appeal of fishing for the Cup and it is always wise to sort the truth from most of the stories each year.

Once again a 'virgin' won the Cup.....Andy Hart from Auckland travelled with past winner Duncan Foster and proved his mates wrong. Not only the biggest but the prettiest fish on the day was presented by Andy to be weighed and he was a very happy boy. 

Some great Supporters were involved this year to help make the event a fun time and one to remember as the Cup moves towards it's Jubilee.
