The Crafty-Cobra Photo/Video Contest !
Influenced by this wonderful photo by Ronan Creane (stuntman, roamer of seven seas and fly fisher extraordinaire), here’s a call to bring out all the McGiver and Inspector Gadget tendencies hiding deep inside you while having the chance of winning a cool prize in the process !
If you’re a do it yourselfer that can tackle any problem, find solutions to the insolvable and get a kick out of it and do it in all an ‘out of the box / no or little budget’ manner then this contest’s for you !

Up for the grabs is one of the best fly fishing films I’ve had the pleasure to see:
Mayfly Madness from Mountain Media

Starring two cool Swedish fly fishing fiends, Ulf Börjesson and Johan Klingberg, not only do we get to see some awesome big and wild brown trout fishing in Sweden but to make it even more specialer, it’s a collector’s edition signed by both cohorts !
Danica mayfly time in Sweden is a magical moment and this film’s about Magical Mayfly Madness !
