Walnut Fly Box with Spalted Maple Inlay

It's a crisp cool morning with a slight wisp of fog still hanging along the edges of the tree lined stream. You've reached the water and you're steadily watching the surface of the water for the mornings hatch.

From your vest you pull out your new solid walnut fly box. Immediately you remember the wonderful feelings of true surprise when you opened your gift and first saw this beautiful fly box.

Benefit Auction

Mikey Wier won the Truckee River One-Fly Tournament tournament and donated the grand prize back to the UNR student chapter of The Wildlife Society in an effort to help raise more funds for future events. 

From Mikey:

I fished the one fly tournament this weekend on the truckee.  It was a great event put on at the Nature Conservancy land by the UNR wildlife society club.  I almost went with the nymph, but decided to go big and fish a streamer at the last minute. The water was a bit mudded up and high from that last storm. I had never fished that water and it was a bit tough, but I ended up getting a couple nice fish.  It was good enough for first and I decided to donate the prize to the club because they did a great job putting on the event.  I just got this e-mail that they are going to auction it off to raise some money for their club.  It's a great group of kids.  Please pass this on to anyone you think might need a new orvis 5 wt and matching reel.

Thanks,
Mikey
