About the 2 Fly Challenge 

The 2 Fly Challenge is a 3 day event held on the West Branch of the Ausable River in the Adirondack Mountains of Wilmington NY. It is a time for anglers to get together for a time of fishing, socializing and learning while raising money to support the river.

Partners 

Fishing is always more fun when you can enjoy your time with a friend. Our competition requires you fish with a "buddy". If you don't have a partner, let us know and we will introduce you to someone. Some of our participants have met lifelong friends this way in the past.

2 Flies

Each day you will get to choose 2 flies to fish with. When they are lost or damaged beyond fishable, you are out of the competition for the day. The total inches accumulated are tallied for a grand total winner.
