Behind The Cast is pleased to announce
that the 2nd Annual Hienz Skitzvelvet Invitational
will be held in Sault St Marie, Ontario in the first
week of September. Currently competing are four
of the meanest, most competetive hardass's known
to fly fishing.
With it's gin clear waters and multiple species of cold
and warm water fish inhabiting the river, this venue,
which was voted upon during a recent meeting of the
tournaments board of directors, will assure the
anglers a thrilling and challenging theatre.
While the focus will be Steelhead and various
species of salmon, resident rainbows, such as this beauty
picture below, inhabit the river as well. In the upcoming
weeks we will have interviews with various participants,
more news updates about the tournament, as well as...
well....other stuff!!!

As the vote for where this years Heinz Skitzvelvet
Invitational will be held, Behind The Cast sits down
with last years H.S.I Angler Of The Year winner Nick
Donovan, also a Behind The Cast associate, to talk
about this year's tournament, whether he'll be back,
and what his hopes and expectations are.
BTC: You were last years HSI Angler
Of The Year Winner. Are You
planning on returning to the
tournament this year?
N.D: That's a good question, and first
I'd like to make a shout out to
Mikey Fitzgerald who without,
i probably wouldn't have won
at all. For sure i'll be back this
year, god willing!
BTC: Is there a particular venue you
are hoping for this year?
N.D: Somewhere close to water Steve,
that would be optimal! But if i had
my choice it would be somewhere in
northern ontario, between Sault
St Marie and the Nipigon area.
BTC: Single Handed Or Double?
N.D: That's kind of personal isn't it?
BTC: Are you bringing any strategies from
last year into this year?
N.D: Strictly mental warefare Stan. Bringing
my B game with my ace in the hole, plus I
intend on scuffing alot of leaders...
BTC: Sounds very sexual...
N.D: That's The Way Uh Huh Uh Huh I Like It
BTC: Well thanks again nick for sitting down
to talk with us, hopefully we can have
you on the show again big guy!
N.D: No problem Mark, When can i expect
my cheque in the mail?...
