Hey Guys, check with Eric at moderator booth for Mrs. G�s $Gill flies - donations to SDSU Jesse West scholarship foundation!
Here�s a photo of a $Gill fly if you look closely from fishin� yesterday �
Y�all have fun � wish I were there.
SDSU cap and Mrs.G's $Gill fly ...
George - I bid four times on those flies and also the TFO fly rod/flies and lost both by LATE bidders. Grrrrr...I did end up spending some well deserved bucks on the Venison Pastrami and bid/won a couple of In-Fisherman hats...all for a great cause. Still...my Wipers wouldn't stand a chance with those flies of yours!
TJ, I also did my best to get the flies and figured I had them up to a high enough point that nobody would mess with them. Heck, I think I came in 4th or lower.
That's OK, I still have 5 that George personally hand tied for me. Of course, there's no way I'm going to actually fish with them. One of them is mounted and framed.
Thanks guys, really wish I had been able to attend -sounds like a good time was had by all and most behaved nicely ...
Glad the flies brought big bucks at the auction - that was the only way I could paticipate.
Who won the spin/cast fly rod/reel combo?
Temple Fork Outfitters is a first class operaration and responded eagerly to my request for their donations - thanks to Brandon for his bass bugs - he's a top notch fly tyer!
The reason for my enphasis on the spin/cast rig is too encourage you guys to fly fish your ponds! This rig will handle UL spin casting like a dream and allow to switch to 4/5wt fly casting when needed.
Thanks to all for donating to a worthy cause.
George
