Very tough conditions this year that would test the best of anglers. I was too lucky to team up with local delta angler/fly tier Brian Pultz.

Haha. Thanks Bill! Was my first time attending the event, I encourage more people to get out and experience this. I'd say this regardless of the results. Lots of nice boats, but anyone's boat would do. Even had a drift boat out there. And Kayak division had one person. Definitely need more Kayaks out there!

I participated the first two years and highly recommend it to all.

Marilyn and I were going to drive down to the weigh-in but we had too many things that day come up.

Congratulations Ryan. What was the common depth and flies used?
