It can easily be said, the real winner as a result of the Blue River Fly Classic, is Blue River herself. This growing event raised $4071.00 in entry fees, raffle tickets, silent auctions and donations.Just five years ago we started this event and had 22 contestants. This year we had 60, and we fed about 80 people for lunch.The mystery fly, a size 14 olive Czech Nymph, performed better than I thought it would. I really thought it would be a tough fly for many. However, quite a few fish were caught with this pattern including two 8 point bonus fish - the Redhorse sucker.When the score cards were tallied here were the winners.3rd Place - Scott Dittner
