24th Women’s World Championship

Szolnok Alcsi-szigeti Holt-Tisza 2017.

August 26-27

Dear Angling Friends!

From 2016 January 1, a new era started in Hungarian sport fishing. Due to the favorable new legal environment, commercial fisheries have ceased to exist in the state-owned natural waters, while the National Federaton of Hungarian Anglers (MOHOSZ), which was significantly transformed and expanded in its tasks, became the holder of most parte of the water areas until 2030. By the beginning of 2017, the number of registered anglers increased to 400,000 from nearly 80,000 people. MOHOSZ compiled the currently 28 county associations, about 1,200 fishing clubs and 13 special state companies, including the Balaton and the Lake Tisza.

Sport fishing, was not eliminated by positive changes. There is ample calm to the fact that the future of national sport fishing, the economic background of a stable state and competitive support background, seems to be assured thanks to the transformation of the "Hungarian Team" support system, which has started its third season. I would like to point out that our sports budget can fully cover the costs of traveling, accomodation, and other expenses for the competitors, and the accompanyng persons. The success of the Hungarian fishing sport and especially the competitors are proving that over the past decade Hungary won nearly 70 medals at the European and World Championships, competing with the most successful national sports. Perhaps these successes are due to the fact that the International Sport Fishing Confederation has favorably judged our tenders, so after several years of skipping Hungary, the renewed MOHOSZ can recreate sport fishing world competitions. On August 26 and 27 2017, in Szolnok, on the Alcsi-szigeti Holt-Tisza, the 24th Women's World Championship will take place, then on September 20 and 23, we are organizing the 19th Carp fishing world championship at Kaposvár, lake Deseda. Both sites are traditional for fishing and hospitality, and I hope that this will be proven to everyone in practice. I’m thankful for the decision and trust, as well as for the Ministry of Human Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture (FM) and the National Sports Federation. I am pleased to announce that the patrons of World Championships are President Dr. János Áder, and Minister Dr. Sándor Fazekas (FM). Dear Competitors!

Every competition, including a world championship, is about you, your real achievement and its community recognition and mutual respect. I know that there is a great deal of sacrifice and consistent work behind the accomplished performance, in most cases coupled with positive human qualities and direct community contact capabilities. I think that this is why, and not just because of the glittering of a medal, every beginner's model can be used by all the anglers and those who are interested in fishing. We look forward to welcoming you in Hungary! Dr. Lajos Szűcs President of MOHOSZ

Dear Competitors!

On the behalf of te municipality of Szolnok, the capital of river Tisza, I wish you a warm welcome. Our city is surrounded by waters, tempting many anglers for a long time. Angling is a popular form of recreation among the citizens. Only in Szolnok 10 000 fishing licences are issued each year, which shows that this championship couldn’t find a better location. I’s a great honor, that the National Federation has chosen Szolnok to be the place for the women’s world championship.

We promise that we will be good hosts to this event, and I hope we will have a memorable competition on our beautiful channel. The connection between Szolnok and the Tisza was always strong, the river was the lifeline for the people living here and for the thousand year old Szolnok. We are working to bring our rivers and lakes into the future of the city, and of course angling tourism. I wish you a good competition, and tight lines! Ferenc Szalay Mayor

Ladies and gentlemen! Dear anglers!

Welcome to the city of Szolnok, the headquarters of the Közép Tisza Vidéki Fishing Association. Our association gathers 65 fishing clubs, more than 20 000 anglers. Utilising more than 4000 acres of water. Float fishing is really important to us. Our association has already organised 4 world championships.

Many of our competitors have achieved outstanding results at the World and Europe Championships. They won gold, silver, bronze medals, and many good rankings. I might say we are a traditionally competitive association. This makes us obliged to create the ideal conditions for anglers who come to us. In the spirit of these thoughts, we are preparing for the World Women's Championship and we look forward to all the participants! György Fialka President of KTVHE
