T Minus 1 Week to National Fly Fishing Championship 2009

1 week left until some of the top fly fishing anglers in the United States converge in State College, PA to take a shot at making team USA! Competitors will start to filter into the State College region soon testing their skills and flies against Pennsylvania’s world class Wild Trout fishery.
