" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

This was an awesome event!
I got some good education re casting, a couple of sample flies from Kaufmans, and my 5yr old and I really enjoyed the event.
Thanks to all!
