GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN TU 4TH ANNUAL "IRON MAN FLY CONTEST 2019" WINNERS!

"CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS!"

We want to thank everyone who attended this year's 4th "IRON MAN FLY CONTEST 2019", it was a great evening of fun, food, and best of all we accomplished our goal! Each year we raise funds to send a boy or girl to "Trout Camp" through the entry fees of our competitors. This year 14 fly tiers entered and competed in a fast paced three round event designed to confuse, frustrate and give the crowd a mix of laughs and admiration for those entering this high pressure event for a great cause.

Thanks to our sponsors for the prizes they donated for the winners including brand new fly rods, reels, packs, hats and other angler gear. Hats off to Southern Trout Magazine, Little River Outfitters, Smoky Mountain Angler, 3 Rivers Angler, and Orvis-Sevierville!

This year marked our first woman tier to take home the grand prize, Katelyn Hillmeyer. This was her second year competing after placing fourth last year. Congratulations to all who entered and below is the winner list.
