08 Apr 1st Place Finish – FlyLife Magazine TopShot Photo Competition
While entering photo contest is not on my to do list, it was far too enticing to enter the 2018 FlyLife Photo Competition. FlyLife is a magazine based out of Australia and covers the sport as the preeminent fly magazine for the South Pacific region.
FlyLife is a publication that I have read religiously for the past 7-8 years as part of my New Zealand and Cook Island fishing excursions. As a result of having a lot of fly fishing photography in that region, I wanted to see how some of my work would stack up ‘down under’.
As a result of gracious reviews by the six panel judge of esteemed fly fishing industry photographers, my photograph above made it into the six finalist. From that point, the public had a chance to weigh in and vote. When the dust settled, I was surprised and honored to have my image selected as their 2018 Top Shot of the year.
Heart felt thank you to FlyLife Magazine and the associated sponsors, MayFly Tackle, Tonic Eyewear, FlyOdyssey Australia/Gladstone Fly Fishing.
