Successful Iron Vise at Beer Tie

[CaseyP]

Big thanks to all who turned out on a rainy, raw November evening to compete in the 2018 Casting for Recovery Iron Vise at Beer Tie!

Rich Farino and Mark Sofman did a great job judging some pretty awesome flies. More than one disappeared into fly boxes after the competition.

Winners: tied for 3rd place Ed Cantow, Lane Thurgood, and Greg DiSalvo. Second place went to Raphael Victor.

And just to prove he really knows what he's doing, our own President Dalton Terrel took First Place.

Some really nifty raffle prizes persuaded many generous attendees to help kick off our Waders for our Ladies fund-raiser--enough was raised to buy the first outfit! Thank you very much everyone, and we're looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

It was great to rub shoulders with such a fine crew.  Due to my commute from Rockville, I don't make many of these.  But I'm glad I didn't miss this one.  I enjoyed meeting so many great folks engaged in a great cause.

Thanks, Casey, we were happy to host CfR again this year!

My apologies to the other Iron Vise contestants, who in my opinion got jobbed this year; but we'll have to bring in different judges next year.

Look forward to the re-gifted rod going in the raffle next month!

Sour grapes from the winner? LOL!
