The University of Montana fly-fishing team took third place last weekend at the inaugural World Varsities Trout Fly Fishing competition on Lough Corrib near Cong, Ireland.

UM’s team consisted of staff member Tony Tomsu and Jesse Filingo, a student. The duo competed against teams from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, Germany and the United States.

Ireland’s Galway Mayo Institute of Technology won the event, and Limerick Institute of Technology, the host team, was second.

The UM team was sponsored by Kesel’s Four Rivers Fly Shop, Kingfisher Fly Shop, Missoulian Angler and Grizzly Hackle.
