Orvis 20 September Days Photography Contest

Hey guys,

Orvis just announced the finalists of its annual 20 September Days photography contest, and I'm excited to share that my wife made the final 10 with the photo attached. 

Please check out her entry (listed under my blog name "fatfingeredflytyer") and the nine other great finalists at the link below:

And if you happen to think her shot warrants a vote as one of your top 3 choices, she (and I) would certainly appreciate the support.  She only took up fly fishing in August and is rather excited that a photo from one of our first trips since she began was selected in this contest.

 

Thanks

Chris

Got my vote.  Where is that?   Smokies or Arkansas tailwater streams?

Appreciate it!  The photo was taken along Lynn Camp Prong on our final day in the Smokies last month.  Didn't catch any brookies that morning, but the scenery certainly made up for it.

Thanks to all for the kind words and support.  Whether or not she ends up in the top 3, I'm extremely proud of her for being selected as a finalist among 2000+ entries.

Last day to vote.  Figured I'd bump this back to the top in case anyone else wants to take a look.

 

Thanks again to those who voted.

Should have moved back to Sams Creek. At the split of LCP and Thunderhead Prong,  go right on TP.  Sam's Creek cuts off TP to the left.  Helped "guide" some boys for TN Trout Camp. Ahem, my kid was the only one to limit out...caught on an elk hair caddis. There was one that was 9 inches which is real big for an Apalachian brookie.  My first one was about 3 inches long...on an EHC. Love that fly!
