Thank you to everyone who took part in BREAK THIS ROD 2017. It was an absolutely blast sharing pictures and stories with you all. More importantly, your participation helped us equip veterans at CAMP HEALING WATERS with real tenkara gear, so that they can enjoy the peace that comes with spending time fly fishing. We are sincerely grateful for your support in reaching this goal. 

Since everybody had fun (and injuries seem to be declining) we will definitely run another BREAK THIS ROD contest next year. Stay tuned!
