Nice work guys. Looks like a solid addition. 

Now let me ask seriously - where do you find all these thoroughbreds (ok, maybe not the best term, but I wasn't going to use studs)?  Have competitive fly fishing bars started to pop up in the south or something?

That would make for some interesting "pick-up" lines.  I'll let imaginations run here. 

Short and sweet...we've met and formed friendships with these guys at prior events and tournaments.

The best advice I could therefore give would be to start a tournament or two in the area.  Much like in the business world, it's all about networking, and tournaments are the places you're most likely to find others interested in competing!
