Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to all that participated in our rod building program during this challenging time. It has been my pleasure to work with each of you even though we had to discontinue the on-site classes early on in the process. 
It is my hope that you will be able to join us again in the future in a classroom setting.

"A day on the river is a good day –
even if it is raining and the fish aren’t biting. It doesn’t matter because you have
the perfect peace to get through the day and
take away the stress."
