Thank you all for an amazing Carp Week. Honestly, y'all crushed our numbers bringing in the most unique views we've ever had in one week let alone one month! We had hundreds of submissions to the Carp Week photo contest and gave away a record number of gear from our amazing sponsors. If you didn't already have the opportunity to do so, please head on over to our sponsors pages and check out what they have to offer, check them out on their social media outlets as well, let the know you heard about them through TLTFF's Carp Week, I'm sure they'll all appreciate it.
For those of you who entered, wow, what beautiful fish, you guys are killing it around the world! Its great to see this unique type of fly fishing take off and be appreciated by so many.
We hope that you learned a thing or two this week, maybe added some new gear or flies to your collection whether it be through one of our contests or through supporting our great sponsors. We really cannot thank you enough for the support! We got some amazing feedback throughout the week that made us realize how great our readers are and why we keep this blog going, thank you.
All that said, lets get on to announcing the winners of this year's Carp Week Photo Contest!
