(This starts this weekend, so I’m reporting it)
I got my copy of the Drake on Friday and saw “The Big Year Contest.”I love this.
- Really cool idea.
The idea takes a page out of the idea of “The Big Year” in bird watching (there is a movie of the same name with Steve Martin and Jack Black). The Big Year is all about number of species. It isn’t size or numbers, but species.
The Drake is going to track this on their Facebook page starting on April 26th.
I’ve long enjoyed the many different species one can catch on a fly. I’m apt to throw at any fish that might even consider eating a fly, even if it isn’t considered much of a game fish. Blind casting into cuts in the tropics often yields some really interesting fish, always a bonus on any flats trip.
I look forward to seeing some unusual fish show up.
There is gear up for grabs, as you might expect. Sponsors include Redington, Sage, Yeti, William Joseph, Smith Optics and RIO.
Get your copy of the magazine to see all the details.
