'FISH-IN 2001' PHOTOS, 4


By Deanna Lee Birkholm, Publisher FAOL


The Distance Casting event on Saturday drew a big crowd of FAOL people and the guides from the DRC. A very serious competition with two judges at the casting position, and two more to make sure the casts were within the boundaries, and then to measure each cast. Each caster had a total of 5 minutes to cast. 18 men and 1 woman entered. It was followed by the Broom Casting Championship, won by Ray DuBois! He beat Castwell with his own broom. This was great fun, use your mouse-over for names of the folks.

The broom is something else. It doesn't 'load' so all the energy has to be created by using the double haul! Thanks folks for giving it a try, we all enjoyed watching. We don't have photos of everyone yet, more to come.
