Sunday November 15th! Picnic Island Park in Tampa! 9-12 EST
Join our club and other clubs for the Fly Casting Competition of the year!
HOSTED By our friends at the Tampa Bay Fly Fishing Club. This day is filled with team and individual fly casting competition to see who is the Big Gun!
Dave Olsen holds some crazy numbers and is an excellent caster in not just the LONG cast but the all around comp.
Experts and beginners alike are invited to test their fly casting skills at the Tampa Bay Fly Fishing Club’s annual “Big Gun Shoot-Out” casting competition!
Individual and teams of 3 are welcome!
Plaques will be awarded for highest scoring individual, highest scoring teams, and the “Big Gun,” the overall distance casting champion.
Contestants will participate in competition stations that mimic the challenges of fly fishing, such as casting under the mangroves, into a cup of water, or through a hoop suspended a few feet off the ground. Come out and give it a try – you’ll be hooked!
The competition will run from 9 am – 12 pm. There is NO entry fee, and lunch will be provided to all contestants. You may use your own rod for all competition stations including the Big Gun distance contest. The long cast final for the Big Gun must be an 8 weight with a standard fly line. Volunteers also are needed to help set up the course and score contestants.
