    Fly Fishing Film Festival - Hood River

    I believe that was due to......you guessed it Covid. Served only to screw fly shops out of the exposure afforded by sponsoring a showing. Also did not allow for fund raising for worthy causes. 4k was raised for local conservation group at the Wenatchee showing last Thursday. Buying a ticket...

    I fished with Enrique last year. He was AWESOME to say the least. Multiple tarpon bites and one very nice Jack Enrique referred to as El Toro. He is the best and speaks very good English.
