Pairing fly fishing and athletics is certainly a new turn in the sport beloved by people searching out quiet solitude. But, thanks to events like the Flyathalon, the trend is catching on and moving east to the Delaware Valley this summer. The Fly Tri is much more of a friendly competition than the running events of the Flyathalons, and this year’s competition is more designed to get folks out on the Delaware River and experience the fishery and region.
