We wrapped up the inaugural Reno Fly Shop League this past weekend. 10 anglers competed each week for 6 weeks. Each week there were random assignments of pairings and beats. This allowed for anglers to be forced to fish random water with a random partner. All-in-all it made for a great time, camaraderie and healthy competition.

In the end we had an angler put together an amazing 45 minutes and come from 4th place after week 5 to win the overall title. Along with the cash purse he will be forever able to tell the story of the fame and glory that came with winning the kick-off season of the RFS League!!!!
Here are the final results of 6 weeks of competion. In review, Anglers were assigned random pairings and one of 7 randomly drawn beats on the Truckee River. An angler had 45 minutes each week to catch as many fish as possible that measured over 8 inches. Total number of inches were recorded and accumulated week to week.
This first season went very well and we hope the anglers had as much fun as we did putting the league on.
A huge thanks also to our weekly sponsors. RIO, Scientific Anglers, Loon, ECHO, Risen Fly Fishing and Modelo/Corona/Pacifico
With the success and general feedback we are turning right around and scheduling a Fall League which will start 9/28. Stay tuned for more details on registration and final schedule.
