I attended this event. It was run very well and I appreciate all who put it together. If I can I will make an effort to attend again next year. Thanks to all who put it together. I know Alaska Flyfishers, Mt. View Sports, and Bass Pro Shop all contributed. Not to mention all the experts who attended and gave lessons. Thanks to all.
