And the winner is.......... Autumn Newsletter question

publication date: Oct 10, 2007

Thanks to everyone who entered the Autumn newsletter 'Last Cast' competition trying to win the Loop Evotec CLW reel we offered up for the first correct answer to the question we set.

We obviously have some night owls as well as early birds among our readers as we had a flood of entries both last night and early this morning and they are still trickling in now.

As a reminder the question was ........

Last Cast!
Just to see who really is paying attention and reads right through to the end - first correct answer by email to info@fishandfly.com as to which classic fly fisher penned this verse below wins a Loop Evotec CLW reel. Better get on that email now! Winner to be announced on the website.

"Let the purist rejoice in the fly that he dries,
And look down on my practice with hauteur,
But for me the surprise,
Of the flash of the rise,
The rosy-brown wink under water."

A solid 99% got the correct answer of G.E.M. Skues so well done to you! But who was the first to reply???

THE WINNER IS DES WATSON OF RINGMER IN SUSSEX!!!

Well done Des, who narrowly beat a dozen or so other correct entries by mere minutes - your new reel will be on its way to you just as soon as the Post Office can manage it!
