The state of our sport

[mac (Doyle McEwen)]

I was very pleasantly surprised to see a good many ladies fishing this last Rally..They even managed to claim Big Nut (congratulations Julie)..This was only my fourth Rally and even though there have always been ladies in presences, this was the most I have seen go out and fish..By the way every one of them oput fished me, but that didn't take much..Our ladies represented the sport and themselves very well..

Also I truly loved to see all the young guns out there..I just wish I could fish as well as they do..From the ones I met and talked to, the sport is going to continue to be a great one to be involved with..These guys are just spectacular..There wasn't a one in the bunch that wouldn't help you if they could..Be it what's getting the bites to where they are getting them..A really fantastic bunch of young men up and coming in the sport..

The future really does look bright..
