Time to vote for your favorite weekend photo! We asked our customers to submit their best weekend photo and once again they delivered. Today's Grand Prize: A WF-5F Scientific Anglers - Mastery GPX Taper fly line (retail value $74.95!) and a Hatch Outdoors party pack (hat and Tshirt).
There are two great opportunities for Denver fly anglers this week. The first is Denver Trout Unlimited’s member meeting that is being held tomorrow at 6:00pm at the REI Flagship Store. The second event you should check out is the Denver South Platte Riversweep being held on Saturday April 27th.
Trouts Fly Fishing would like to offer our condolences to the families and friends of the five outdoor enthusiasts and industry professionals who were killed this weekend in the avalanche on Loveland Pass.
From the Denver Post:
“The five men killed Saturday in Colorado's deadliest avalanche in 50 years were participants in a backcountry snowboarder event called the Rocky Mountain High Backcountry Bash. They were representatives and founders of snow-sport companies, guides, avalanche experts and veteran backcountry travelers, gathering in the normally safer spring season to celebrate backcountry snowboarding, raise money for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center and test the newest gear.”
We’ve had some great customer photography sent to us over the past several weeks. Our customers are fishing hard and we’re having fun hearing about all of your adventures.
This weekend we want to see what you are up to. Send your best fly fishing photo taken on Friday, Saturday or Sunday to will@troutsflyfishing. We’ll put a blog post up on Monday with the best-of-the-best and then let you vote for your favorite image. The photo with the most votes on Tuesday will be declared the winner.
Nick Kelley used to work at Trouts Fly Fishing and is having a photography show in Downtown Denver. Nick spent time exploring South America - traveling, hiking, and fly fishing. He traveled from Ecuador south through Patagonia – shooting photography throughout the journey. His work is compelling and you are cordially invited to this event being held on Friday April 26th.
