feature throughout the competition and everyone met at Frog Hollow on the Chestatee for the awards ceremony at the conclusion of the day. This event has been lucky in that many of the industries’ companies sponsored and provided some great prizes for competitors. Simms, Redington, RIO, Cheeky Fly Fishing, Tritt’s Outfitters, Temple Fork Outfitters, and many more donated generous prizes to our event. Team USA Youth angler and member of Team Dead Drift, Gabriel Wittosch, secured a first place finish. They were followed by Team USA Youth angler Cam Chioffi with Virginia angler Mat Kidwell, president of Team Dead Drift. Virginia took third. The event seemed to run flawlessly due to the great anglers, volunteers, and the fellowship in fly fishing that all shared. Until next year...
