Held on May 1st, 2025, the International Masters took place in the stunning ZPL no-kill zone of the Hunting and Fishing Club of Manteigas. The competition brought together 10 two-person teams from across the country in a friendly yet competitive fly fishing tournament.

It was an intense and tightly contested event, with results decided in the very last round. My team, alongside João Mota, finished in 4th place. While it wasn’t the podium finish, we hoped for, we’re taking it as motivation to improve and come back stronger next time! 

Congratulations to the top teams:

•  1st Place – Manuel Pedroso & Sérgio Silva
• 2nd Place – Rafael Barata & Ricardo Oliveira
• 3rd Place – Daniel Vaz & Mário Brito

Huge thanks to the Clube de Caça e Pesca de Manteigas for organizing such a well-run and memorable event.
