Westboro’s Ivo Balinov, who is pictured here with fellow medalists Sorin Comsa (left, silver medalist) and Colin Huff (centre, gold medalist), is a member of the one of the two Canadian teams that participated in the 2016 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships at Mt. Tremblant in September. 14 teams representing 10 countries took part in this competition. Not only was this the first time the event was held in Canada since its origins in 1988, but this was also the first time a Canadian team won the gold. It’s also the first team medal that Canada has ever won at any major international fly fishing competition.
