The Ark-La-Tex Tie-in was one of the best fly fishing events I've attended in a long time.  It had great tiers, great fun and tons of camaraderie.  The tie-in made a whopping $3,000 for the new Project Healing Waters Chapter.  Mike Hawkins did a great job organizing the event and many others pitched in to make it a success.

The link below is to a video I took of the tie-in.  It's my first video with my flip video camera... I moved too fast.  Oh well experience is the best teacher.
