Celebrating our 10th Anniversary in 2009! Coupled with the myriad natural wonders of the Adirondacks, the Au Sable and its productive pocket water offer the solitude and challenge no fly fisher can resist.  Each year this event attracts fishermen from all over the country.

The Catch-n-Release challenge takes place on a designated section of the Ausable River, accessing a variety of waters and conditions.  It’s a time-limited contest where fishermen use two flies of their choosing.  Although not a professional contest, the competition will include a pro-division, and prizes will be awarded to winning participants, both amateur and pro.  A cocktail reception is presented Friday evening, as well as a post-competition dinner featuring a special presentation by this year’s guest speaker, the legendary Fran Betters.
