Here is the top 10:
1 - Josh Stephens
2 - Chris Lee
3 - Brian Horner
4 - Simmons Welter
5 - Forest Marshall
6 - Ryan Harmon
7 - Michael Yelton
8 - Paul Thompson
9 -Gordon Vanderpool
10 -Eugene Shuler
Many of you may recognize some of the names on this list. Josh Stephens is a member of the current Fly Fishing Team USA. Paul Thompson is the three time winner of the Field and Stream Total Outdoors man Challenge. Shuler is the founder of the North Carolina team and Lee, Harmon, Yelton and Vanderpool are all NC Fly Fishing Team members. Don't let anyone tell you that the Carolina's don't produce some top sportsmen.
Are only NC residents allowed to compete in these tournaments? I guide in North Georgia and fish NC trout streams all the time. I'd love to participate in any upcoming events.

Kent,
ReplyDeleteThese are open and are fished by people from all around the country. We usually announce them here so keep your eye out. I'll also try to shoot you a note when I hear about the next one. The only one I know of right now is that they are trying to put together a team usa qualifier for the SE region here in the Carolinas.

Congratulations folks.
