H2O Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Complete contest rules can be found HERE 100 % of proceeds will be used to support Alberta Stream Watch Donated by WestJet Airlines: 1st Prize - Yes free means free! This return flight voucher for 2 includes all air travel fees, taxes and surcharges! Fly to any regular scheduled WestJet destination. Not only does WestJet fly to many Canadian and US cities, we also fly to many sun destinations including Hawaii, Bahamas and Mexico. First prize comes from Canada's friendliest airline, 2nd prize comes from Calgary's friendliest fly shop.... Donated by Fish Tales Fly Shop: 2nd Prize - Sage Flight fly rod. The winner of this prize gets to pick the weight of their choice. Sage Flight model (from their website); "Through a further application of the analysis and construction methods developed for our G5 Technology, we’ve completely updated our FLi Series with a range of even lighter, smoother fly rods. Introducing the all-new Flight Series. Now you’ll be able to generate high line speed and feel the rod load more precisely for improved power transfer and efficiency. In fishing situations, that means you will instinctively cast better without having to think about it." 3rd Prize fly rod donated by Amundson Outdoors. Thanks to Bow River Troutfitters for donating the 3rd prize Ross reel. Top Fly rod (From the Amundson Outdoor website) "This rod gives fly anglers reliable and consistent performance. By combining 43 and 50 million modulus graphite with a fast-taper design, Top Fly will produce tighter loops and greater casting distances. It is the “flag ship” that performs at the highest level and at a price that is very affordable." I had the opportunity to try this particular model (8' 4 wt) during an annual Golden Trout trip. The first thing I noticed after casting this rod is that it is far superior than most fly rod's in it's price range. Check this and other Amundson fly rods out at the Amundson Outdoors booth at the Fly Fishing Exposition. I will be selling tickets for this raffle at this year's Fly Fishing Exposition January 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. Look for the Stream Watch Raffle booth. Come and purchase tickets to raise money to support Stream Watch's efforts to protect the Alberta streams & rivers that we all love! Hope to see you all there! If you cannot make it to this year's Fly Fishing Exposition click HERE to find out how to purchase tickets. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE BIRD FAMILY FOR BOOTH SPACE AT THE CALGARY FLY FISHING EXPOSITION.

FishTales Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Stream Watch tickets available at Fish Tales. It's a great cause and the $5 investment could get you a new fly rod or on a flight to the tropics - think flats fishing for bonefish.... Stop by to purchase your ticket today.
