Hey guys,

Some of you may remember back in 2020 when I posted an announcement about one of my wife's photos making the final cut in the Orvis 20 September Days photo contest. Her Smoky Mountains scene went on to win that year's contest (due in no small part to the support and votes of folks here), and she's taken to fishing photography ever since.

Well, as luck (or, perhaps, skill) would have it, those efforts have paid off as she has now found herself among Orvis's final 10 for the third year in a row.

And this year's shot, taken along Willowemoc Creek (not far from its confluence with the Beaverkill), may be my favorite of the three.

There's certainly some serious competition this year, however, and I'd highly recommend everyone go check out all the finalists at the link below.

20 September Days - Vote

If my wife's (listed under my name) happens to be one of your Top 3, we'd certainly appreciate the vote.

Tight Lines
Chris
