Special thanks this week to the sponsors and entrants involved in the Itinerant Angler Photo Contest. My appreciation goes out to Scientific Anglers, Scott Fly Rods, Temple Fork Outfitters, Mark Schafer of the Steelhead Shop, and most especially, Joel Thompson of the Rock Creek Cattle Company for donating a stay in his personal cabin as a grand prize. Joel got left out of the thanks on the show and I wanted him to know how much I appreciate his contribution.
