It has been a few years since we held a photo contest and we are due to recognize some of the fantastic anglers on this site who share some some wonderful images from their fly fishing experiences. Paflyfish is holding a fly fishing photo contest this spring. All photographic skill levels are encouraged to participate.
Winning photos will be displayed on the Paflyfish website and social media sites. We have prizes from our friends at Allen Fly Fishing, Orvis-Plymouth Meeting, Harman’s Luxury Log Cabins and Cutthroat Furled Leaders.
Both amateur and professional photographers are welcome to participate. Photos must be submitted in digital format; see contest rules for details.
Each participant may submit one photograph in total. All images must be digitally uploaded. You can upload your images at the photo section. Select the “2016 Spring Photo Contest” Category when submitting your photograph.
Start Date: March 21, 2016 at 12:00 AM, EST End Date: June 19, 2016 at 11:00 PM EST. We’re not responsible for errors that may terminate the contest early so enter soon.
Sorry for the length and this is intended to be fun, but most all questions can be answered by reading the rules and directions below. Please read!
