For the first time in three years I attended the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival not as a TPFR member and officer, but as a paid employee for my company. As a result, I spent considerably less time in the TPFR tent and consumed slightly less alcohol than in years past. However, as in years past, I was able to spend time with likeminded folks who love our sport, meet to new people, teach some casting, and spend time with friends old and new. If you haven't made it to this festival yet, mark it on your calendar for next year, it is a day well spent in the Shenandoah Valley with the bucolic Blue Ridge as a back drop. Not bad fishing in the area either.
Each year the Festival holds a VIP dinner where VA wines are raffled off, a silent auction is held and speeches are given. I attend for the prime rib. At any rate, somewhere between the wine auctioning/speeches and Dalton winning some amazing fish art, Beau Beasley took to giving out the Virginia Fly Angler of the Year award. In years past I have seen people honored that I hardly knew but had a tremendous amount of respect for. This year, it was great to watch someone with whom I am close friends with and have a tremendous amount of respect for, and who deserves the recognition be honored with this award….
Ladies and Gentleman please join me in congratulating Dan Davala for being honored as the Virginia Fly Angler of the Year!
Dan, well done and well deserved sir.
