If you were lucky enough to hear his presentation on fishing the Delta, you heard it from a two time winner! Congrats Brian!
Here is what he shared on our Facebook page:
"Thank you. The bite was tuff but we went for big fish and managed to get solid limits each day. No gigantic fish but in our 10 fish (5 each day) we had 4 fish over 3.5lbs and with our largest fish was a 5lb male. We only caught 1 fish under 12 inches the enter tournament. We will have stop by at the next meeting and brag. Thanks again Delta Fly Fishers, Inc. for you support."

One Fly Contest Sweep!
Ron Representing DFF in Style!
Ron Forbes brought home both trophies for DFF by catching the most fish as well as the biggest fish of the day. Ron was bringing fish in from the start of fishing to the close of the contest. Ron generously shared his techniques throughout the day but even with the sharing of strategies, no one was able to come close although many fish were caught throughout the day. Well done Ron!
