sent rick some details on my donation this year. It will be a "southern river" trip in the SW corner of alberta, with a BBQ steak dinner and a night campout in my backyard with fire pit / BS session too. Figured if someone came all the way down here they might want to spend the night as we will likely be out very late on the fishing day. Watch for it soon.

9. "WHO WANTS CAKE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE PIE" brought to you byUberfly

Oh, it's on now! The debate can finally be settled.

 

More info from Peter:

"I'll bake the pie (but can't guarantee I will be available to deliver - but we'll figure that out later)... Also, I will only bake one based on what seasonal fruit is available at that paticular point in time (i.e. may not have a choice on what kind of pie - I will guarantee that it will be freshly baked and 100% homemade - including crust)"

 

From Rickr:If Pete can't deliver the pie, I can anywhere from Edmonton to Southern Alberta as long as the winner is willing to work with me on dates. And fishing locations.

 

Current Bid:$40.00 brunsie

10. NEW ZEALAND MADE "BROWN'S and BOW'S LANDING NET" Hand Crafted by Curt Carlson

More info from Curt:

Browns & Bows landing nets are hand crafted by Curt Carlson, (Alberta born) in Russell, New Zealand. Brown and Rainbow are the iconic trout of New Zealand. Everything you hear is true, big, wary to the angler, but fantastic to catch, and the rivers, streams, creeks and scenery are truly wild. Each summer I bring a few nets back to Calgary and am very pleased to offer this to the Stream watch Alberta auction. As we say in NZ, "good on ya".

 

Each is unique, crafted one at a time, in limited numbers, at my shop. They are made from hardwoods such as Tasmanian Blackwood, Taraire, Matai,Tawa, Fiddleback Red Gum, Rewarewa, Kauri, Macrocarpa and Rimu. (I've secured a small supply of Ancient Kauri; this wood is excavated from far north swampy areas and is carbon dated to be 30,000-40,000 years old.) The handle of the frame has a variety of contrasting wood spots consistent with the trout you catch and release. Each net is "Browns & Bows " engraved to recognize New Zealand as a terrific fly fishing destination

From Rickr: Thanks to BigBowTrout for talking to Curt about this donation. Seriously, I wish I could bid on this! A gorgeous and unique item for any Fly Fisherman in Alberta to own.

19. SOUTHERN ALBERTA WALK AND WADE with your host/guide Hawgstoppah

 

More from Brian:

Walk and wade on a southern alberta river with Brian for a full day (be prepared for a FULL day). Chances at huge browns, huge rainbows, huge bulls (depending on the location chosen, which will be one of two rivers discussed by the winning bidder and Brian), this is a trip to those streams tucked away in the southwest corner of alberta that you hear rumblings about, but never REALLY hear about. This is meant to be a fun trip and for a good cause, so I will be doing some fishing too... of course the winner will get the very best holes though, as well as instruction if needed, but the main goal will be to have fun, catch a few big fish, and learn a new river that the winner can enjoy for years to come.

 

Accomodation for one night plus BBQ steak dinner (the night before trip, or the night of the trip if you figure you'll be too tired to drive home) at my house in cardston if the winner so desires and a backyard campout and fire.. and story telling time smile.gif

 

Trip is for 1 or 2 people

 

Trip will take place around my work schedule for the summer depending on what job I can find. We should try for a weekday, but it may have to be a saturday or a sunday, but don't worry there are places we can go to get away from any crowd.

 

From Rick: I'll kick this one off myself, fishing with Brian is a pleasure.....

Current Bid:$250.00 rickr

 

********************************************************************************

20. "MAX's BOW WALK & WADE" With your host/guide Max Robinson

 

More from Max:

"full day, will take out 1 or 2 anglers on the bow and teach yall a ton of stuff!!!! slay a few fish too!!! bring your lunches rods reels lines, i got the flies and any other terminal tackle!!!!!".

 

From Rick: While this trip is great for anyone of any skill level, I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone just starting out Fly Fishing or fishing the Bow. This is like concentrated classroom time, 'cept you get to catch fish!

 

Current Bid:

********************************************************************************

21. "ADC's BEGINNER PIKE TRIP" with Host/Guide ADC

More from Allan:

"I will offer a trip for one person to a pike lake somewhere in Southern Alberta. This would be an excellent trip for someone who hasn't caught pike on a flyrod but would like to give it a try or someone who is fairly new to flyfishing for pike and wants to get more experience. Trip will be a full day and I will supply lunch, a pontoon boat, flies and pike-worthy fly tackle."

 

From Rick: I wonder if ADC will have a big net??

 

Current Bid:$100 BigBowTrout

Several items ending tomorrow, get your bids in!

 

And let me pitch my own Panorama trip:

We can fish whatever suits your fancy. We can do tiny headwaters up to some incredible classified waters. Last year, about 1/2 of our fishing was on familiar water, and 1/2 was pure exploratory. But the trip is yours to call as you will.

 

Oh, and I have a brandy new topo GPS that may come in WAY handy!
