Expert fly fishers from the Rocky Mountains compete in Cody, Wyoming this weekend for a spot on the U.S.’s international fly fishing team, Fly Fishing Team USA. “Fly Fishing Team USA is the only officially sanctioned organization that represents America in the annual World Fly Fishing Championship events. The United States has fielded a team in the championship since 1981. ‘This is kind of like a tryout for the Olympics, but it’s fly fishing,’ said Tim Wade of the North Fork Anglers in Cody. ‘This is the first time Cody has hosted anything like this and it’s quite a deal for us.'” Jeff Gearino in the Jackson Hole Star Tribune.
