Back Cast Fly Fishing Film Festival 2013 – Epilogue

It took a bit of time, but we finally caught up with Kyle Snarr. Based in Calgary, Kyle is a Team Member with the Canadian Youth National Fly Fishing Team.

We were pleased to present him with a cheque in the amount of $1,996, payable to Fly Fishing Team Canada.

These funds represented the net proceeds of my 2013 Back Cast Fly Fishing Film Festival.

The money will go towards the Youth Teams’ upcoming trip to the World Youth Fly Fishing Championship in Ireland, July 21-26, 2013.

This year’s event was a ‘sold out’ success, and we’ll like to sincerely thank all the attendees who come out and supported us.
