Fly Fishing Festival

Okay, here goes...

So, as advertised, Dad and I took in the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival this past weekend. We had a great time.
A few highlights:
- We both caught our first fish on a fly rod, in a river.
- We tasted a handful of wines. One maker graduated high school in a town near where my parents live now. I recommend the 2005 Echo Forest Red. Savoy-Lee Winery
- We 'test drove' a $755 fly rod and received a free hat in the process. Presenting the Orvis Helios.
- We took in a couple siminars by prominant fly anglers from all over the east coast.
- Dad was interviewed by the local news.


- But most importantly, we wet a line.
