The Annual World Flounder Tramping Championships take place at Palnackie, Scotland, usually in the last week of July or first week in August.
Competitors brave the mud flats of the estuary of the Urr Water
in sun or rain to try and catch the heaviest fish, or the largest
catch, or even the smallest fish for prize money and a trophy.
Fish are
caught by walking across the mud and trapping them below the
competitor's foot. Leisters, which are traditional 3-pronged spears, are no longer permitted to aid capture.
