Despite the bottom falling out of the bucket and severe thunder on Tuesday night we had a great turnout of around 50 people total for our 2016 Redfish Fly Swap. The competition was highly competitive as over a dozen flies were turned in to be judged. There was a lot of local flavor in the building as Marsh Wear Clothing and Floodtide Co. set up booths indoors showcasing some of their new and most popular products. The drinks were cold and Bessinger’s BBQ provided a wonderful spread of BBQ, Mac and Cole Slaw.
Results:
1st Place category- “Most Likely to be Eaten” winner was Luke Panzarella
2nd Place category- “Most Creative Redfish Pattern” was Jimmy Richardson
3rd Place category- “People’s Choice” was Peter DiNicola.
