2017 Rio Grande Rodeo Results
By: Catchcoma Date: October 10, 2017, 8:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The 9th annual Rio Fly Fishing Rodeo is history. Despite the
best (or worst) efforts of this uninvited guest who called
himself "Nate", 37 valiant fly anglers took part. Nate gave us a
brief morning drizzle and some breezy conditions, but for the
most part stayed away until an hour after the weigh-in.
A total of 11 rios were weighed-in under really tough
conditions. Although the rio fishing was tough, a lot of bream
and small bass were caught. I even hooked into a large grass
carp which broke me off.
Five different clubs were represented, along with several folks
not affiliated with a club. The event raised $425 which was
donated to Casting For Recovery. After the weigh-in, everyone
was treated to a delicious lunch.
Thanks to another great job by the New Orleans Fly Fishers club
which hosts this event. Already everyone is looking forward to
2018.
