Two Fly Contributions

Many of you are aware of the Two Fly Fly Fishing Tournament that takes place in early May for the past 7 years. The word "competition" is used lightly as it is really an opportunity to raise a lot of cash for local charities. Total contributions for the 2011 Two Fly are:

$175,000.00

$87,500 goes to The ARC of Natrona County and this will go toward purchasing a facility that can better accommodate the needs of Casper's Autistic folks.

$61,250 goes to the Casper Youth Crisis Center.

$26,250 goes to the Platte River Revival. This $ will help clean up, replant and focus on the North Platte River Corridor through Casper.

Board members, underwriters and sponsors should be proud of their involvement.

Last and certainly not least. Let's not forget to thank the wonderful fish and venue that supports this event.
