The Scierra Pairs carries the highest prize fund in British competition fly-fishing.
There are prizes at every heat in addition to the final and the format allows a pair of anglers entering to fish in the same boat.
Restrictive rules are kept to a minimum and the competition allows all flies permitted by the fishery.
This year, the organisers are keen to encourage juniors and every pair of anglers containing one or more fishermen under 18-years can claim a discount of £10 on the first entry.
Local venues include Morton Fishings near Livingston on Sunday, 4 June 2017.
All heats will fish from 10am until 5pm and anglers can sign in from 8.30am. A briefing is held at 9.45am.
