Combo 1-6
About this event
Overall World Champion across all six events.
Combo 1-6 is the overall World Champion ranking. It combines all six fly-casting events: the four single-handed events (Trout Accuracy, Trout Distance, Seatrout Distance, Salmon Distance) plus the two two-handed Spey events (15 ft and 16/18 ft). To be ranked, a caster must have a valid result in every event.
From the 2024 World Championships onward each event contributes up to 100 points, giving a maximum combined score of 600. Gold, silver and bronze medals go to the top three in men, women and veterans. The Combo 1-6 winner is regarded as the overall World Champion of the championships. The event was introduced at the 2022 World Championships in Gaustablikk.
