A GREAT FIRST YEAR FOR THE AMERICA CUP

“As I sat on the side of the stream watching one of the best fishermen in the
world, two thoughts hit me; Fishing is such a great way to enjoy the outdoors
and how much I still have to learn. We can’t wait for year two of the America
Cup to makes its way back up stream to the Town of Frisco.”
Tim Bock - Town of Frisco, Director of Marketing

“Our youth TEAM USA members were quite impressed with the challenges
and the quality of the competition. It certainly was an impressive opportunity
for them to compete against fl y anglers of all ages from all over the world. The
caliber of the anglers who compete in the America Cup makes it one of the
finest competitions available to competitive fly fishing enthusiasts.”
John Ford - President, US Youth Fly Fishing Team

“The America Cup was a terrific event and great step forward for competitive
fly fishing in the United States. You guys worked as hard as we could ask
for in running the event – thanks! I still receive contacts from people who
participated, volunteered, and watched during the competitions.”
Jim Hickey - WorldCast Anglers

“An awesome event with so much opportunity to learn and exchange fly fishing
tips and stories with all the international participants.”
J. Kyle Bodhaine - President, Reid & Associates

“A great opportunity to meet fishing buddies from around the world.”
Tracey Bodhaine – 2008 Competitor

"Winning The America Cup to me was the best feelings in my life.
Battling it out with some of the best in the world was a grand opportunity.
This isn’t the only thing that brought me back this year.
The friends that I've made during this championship and memories will never leave me.
The beautiful State of Colorado and of course some of the best fishing venues that I ever tested.
All in All it has to be the most enjoyable competition I’ve ever taken part in."
Mike Drinan – Ireland- 2008 1st Place Individual Winner
