Two weeks ago, we announced a sweepstakes aimed at folks who wanted to get more involved in fly fishing, which is why the prize was a complete package of gear that included everything you need to go fly fishing:
- An Orvis Encounter Fly-Rod Outfit
- A pair of Encounter Stockingfoot Waders
- A pair of Encounter Wading Boots
- A Safe Passage Guide Sling Pack
The contest drew several thousand entrants, and this morning, we asked our contest widget to choose a random winner: Kimberley Jeffords of Wheatland, Wyoming! Kim was very excited when I contacted her and had this to say:
Thank you very much! I used to fly fish with my Grandpa when I was a little girl. Was never very good at it. My brother is an avid fisherman and says he wants to challenge me, so I would like to re-learn. My Grandpa had an elaborate set-up for tying his own flies, and I would watch him and my Dad make them and loved it. I am very excited to get started.
Sounds like the perfect recipient for such a complete set-up. We’ll make sure that Kim sends us photos of her first time on the water and of her first fish.
Thanks to everyone who participated!
contest widget eh?
Good for her! It’s nice to see that the winner is someone who is just starting out in the sport.
