A couple weeks ago, we asked you to post your best photos of fly-fishing dogs on Facebook and Instagram for a chance to win a Recon Fly Rod for you plus an Orvis Sunbrella® Indoor/Outdoor ComfortFill Platform Dog Bed for your favorite pooch. We received hundreds of great images, and from those we’ve chosen our ten finalists. Now you get to help pick the winner.
Take a gander at the top 10 photos in the widget below (click on each image for a larger version), and then choose your three favorites. The photographer whose image receives the most total votes will win the prizes.
We’ll also give a pair of Orvis Nippers and an Orvis Silicone Dog Bowl to one randomly selected voter at the end of the voting. To be eligible to win the reel, you MUST leave a comment about the photos in the comments section below. (That’s the only way we’ll know who you are, since the poll widget doesn’t collect data on voters.)
We will announce the winners on Monday, March 26th. So choose your three favorites, and then leave a comment!
Nothing better than fishing with your dog.
Can’t help but have a great day fishing when man’s best friend tags along
Can’t wait to get my pup out fly fishing with me!
Brian Steinert’s photo puts a big smile on your face. You can tell it is not posed or glorified. A real-life picture of the laughable chaos a hyper dog introduces on a drift boat. Gotta love it.
You can’t not like that chocolate lab.
A man and his dog…Nate Diamond embodies that! He is a great outdoorsman!
So many awesome dogs!
Great contest!
I’m sad I couldn’t vote for all of those beautiful pups!
Nate Diamond looks the best and real .
There is nothing in this world like a good fishing buddy always by your side with a drive for adventure.
Fun stuff.
I need a dog! I love these photos.
Love dogs and fly fishing!
Reminds me of years of fishing with my Golden. Fishing dogs are the best.
Almost as good as fishing with your wife and kids. Too bad I can only vote for three.
When mine was a pup she thought chasing indicators was the coolest thing in the world. Many blown holes and lost fish. But now I wouldn’t think of going without her.
Love seeing the dogs giving some fish some love.
These were all great and it was tough to choose between them, Great job!
Go mike
It’s been more than a year since my beloved Zeus left us. Just looking at these photos I know it’s time to get another dog.
i wonder how long it took to balance that rod on that labs head….
Great photos! Do I see an Orvis Fly Fishing Dog calendar in the works?
All of them were awesome.
Such devotion charli
Gotta love those pups!
Dogs are awesome. Fishing is awesome.
The dogs are the real winners here, they get to Go Fish! (insert wagging tail)

Nothing quite like a good fish dog.

Loved all the photos! The chocolate lab with the fly rod on his head was my favorite. Dogs are the best!

Some say there’s no such thing as a “fishing dog.” I took mine regardless and often. Best fishing companion I think I ever had. Great pictures. Love the vizsla, doing what a velcro-dog does even on a boat!
Love it!
This reminds me, I need to get a dog.
I love these picture! I really like the two dogs watching their buddy fish

Almost impossible to vote for only three. The love in each pups’ eyes makes me melt. In life’s trials & tribulations, these pics are the calming in my soul… <3
I've checked the box that I'm a real human-my kids might argue this point sometimes LOL!!!

Dogs and trout – what a great combination.

Typical Vizsla! Always want to be on their humans! Lol
Fishing with dogs can be the best!
Pups are our best companions, and sometimes they even fish better than us
Nate has a well behaved little fishing buddy! My dog goes hog wild in the holes and terrifies everything in sight xD
Fun contest!
Thanks
Russell

Makes me want to get a dog!

Lots of Lucky Dogs! Great pics.

Best fishing partner in the world!
How do you keep a LAB from swimming thru your favorite fishing hole? Teach him how to hold your rod while you select the proper fly!
Such great photos! Truly a wonder fishing partner! Thanks for having this contest.
Awesome photos!
A dog’s love and companionship can’t be beat.
Love the black lab pup!
Man’s second Love

What a great contest. No one understands immediately and always how much we love fly fishing like our fishing buddy. Choosing 3 was Rufff, but my boy Dusty and I managed.
Awesome photos, too bad that there is only one winner.
All great photos, but I hope a lab takes it.
Fishing with dogs is simply the best.
Dogs are mans best friend! Nice to be on the water with your best friend!!

Looks like Nate is taking this one. Congrats.
