Just wanted to add...I have a friend that fished it for ten years. 1991-2000. It's a numbers game your better off catching ten small fish than 2 big ones....so make sure your fly is durable. You have to fish that one fly all day but on day #2 you can change to a differnt fly....Say Day#1-Hopper all day...Day#2- Madem X all day...So your not stuck with the same fly for the whole event (2days)...Just for that one day.

All the money generated goes to stream restoration projects.

my choice of fly would be a caddis green stimi in #14.

at those prices, no wonder the contestants can only afford one fly!

Interesting progression(?) can be seen in the winning flies working up from 1986 to today...

Cheers,
