Legends of the Fly : April 3, 2017
The LOF in Virginia beach event was a huge success this weekend.
Thank you to everyone who attended and all of the sponsors who made it happen.
It was a great turnout and everyone enjoyed face time and tarpon talk with the tarpon king himself, Andy Mill.
Andy Mill is not only a former olympian and television personality but he is possibly the world’s best tarpon angler and was one of the true highlights of Legends. We can’t thank him enough for joining the event this year.
We wanted to share some candid shots and remind you to plan for the Legends of the Fly fishing tournament in the fall of 2017. We’ll get you more information in coming posts. Don’t forget to put the Legends event on your calendar for 2018.

About Andy Mill:
“No one has achieved in the world of fly fishing what Andy Mill has. He’s won more Tarpon tournaments than any angler in history. He’s only the second angler to win five Gold Cup tournaments. (The Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament is essentially, the Super Bowl of fly fishing.) And he holds title to the triple crown of tarpon fishing — winning The Gold Cup, The Don Hawley Invitational, and The Golden Fly, all in the same year. What’s more, Mill is the only angler to have won a tarpon, bonefish and permit tournament on fly. In conjunction with his award winning book, A Passion for Tarpon, he has found himself as one of our sports’ leading authorities. Andy has served on the Board of the National Atlantic Salmon Fishing Federation, and is also an honorary Trustee of the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust
Prior to his remarkable career as a tournament angler, Mill was an elite alpine downhill ski racer (ranked number one in the U.S. from 1974-1981) and competed in the 1976 Olympics — where he placed 6th skiing on a severely injured ankle. For his heroics, Andy was awarded the Olympic Skiing Award. Few figures in fly fishing loom larger than Andy Mill.”
