The crisp day began in the morning mists
with check-in, hot coffee, and some rules orientation. The morning rounds consisted of two fishing sessions and a "bye" cutting the contestants to three for the afternoon finals. Angelo
Conti, Stuart Shaffron, and John Wester battled it out until a few minutes before
the bell with ANGELO CONTI taking top honors. There was a serious amount of talent in the waters of the South Branch
for this event. Thoughtful fly selections, multiple styles and plenty of river stewardship was evident
all day long. The fellowship grew into the evenings banquet and generous amounts
of camaraderie.
