ONE FLY Tournament
COURTESY PHOTO – Living Waters Fly Shop
Last year’s one fly tournament was a smash hit so we decided to make it an annual event! Just like last year, in order to fish in the tournament you need to pre-register via email or by calling the shop. In order to fish in the tournament you must attend the pre-tournament briefing held at 9:00 A.M., just before the start of the event. The rules aren’t too complicated; however, if you have any questions just call the shop at (512) 828-FISH. There will be prizes awarded so fish hard! Last year Matt Bennett won with 6 species, see if you can beat the previous record! We look forward to seeing you here!

Bring appropriate, related camera cables if in doubt of your camera’s viewing quality.
