THE FIRST CAST

Help us honor someone who selflessly gives back to their community & exemplifies the spirit of the outdoors.

WHAT IS THE FIRST CAST?

​

Each year at FL River Fest we recognize a local honoree who not only gives back to the community, but also advocates for & exemplifies the spirit of the outdoors. The recipient "throws the first cast" to kick off River Fest & the unofficial start of Fishing Season!
