What a humbling experience. Just when you think you have the game whipped, you are faced with a situation that makes you truly question your abilities. I must say that to be successful in competition fly angling, you have to have all of your ducks in a row, and be totally focused. The competition is just too good, not to be. This was the situation that I found myself in competing this past weekend (July 27th, 2019) in Cherokee, NC. My usual partner Peyton was gone doing something else on this particular weekend and I fished with one of our teammates father (who is a good angler) but one that I had never fished with before. Needless to say my heart just wasn’t into it. True to form however, I took some very valuable information away from this competition, as I usually do in every one that I compete in. I firmly believe in knowing the water and the fish contained therein is absolutely imperative to being successful in competition. Like I said before…………the competition is just too good not to.
