So who won the ten prize packages from the Casting Across 3  Year Giveaway?

It is true that giving is better than receiving. I get a lot of gear, which is nice. But being able to send off these ten packages in the mail was a lot of fun. Plus, I fish with all of the gear that I gave away, so I know that the winners are going to truly enjoy what they get. (I don’t fish with the exact gear I give away… you know what I mean,)

As I’ve written about ad nauseam, gear is inseparable from fly fishing. Sharing good gear is a cool way to share fly fishing with people I only know through comment sections and social media. In a way, mailing these leaders, fly boxes, stickers, etc. to ten spots around the country is a tangible manifestation of what happens when I hit publish every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on Casting Across.

Anyway, all that probably isn’t why you’re here today.

Here are the 10 prizes I gave away, and who won:
