7. "I LIKE CAKE" by moderator, general troublemaker, and now chef BigBowTrout

More info from Chris:

"I would like to offer a BIGBOWTROUT CAKE SPECIAL. I will bake a cake of the winning bidders choice (I don't bake but how hard can it be). I will hand deliver the cake to almost anywhere in Alberta within reason and as long as there is good fishing close by"

 

Now I guess we need someone to donate a pie to settle the debate once and for all!

 

Current Bid:$35 Teck

 

 

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

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 particular 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

A number of different techniques are available to catch fish and add to your tool kit for use on other stillwaters. Fish to 30" are cruising and waiting to strain your wrist.

Cheers, Rob (Monger)

32.UNFRAMED 12 X 36 PRINT OF THIS PICTURE OF A CHINOOK ARCH OVER CHIEF MOUNTAIN TAKEN FROM POLICE LAKE taken and donated by dryfly

Larger version here.

http://members.shaw.ca/ocl3/chinookpano2000.jpg

More from Clive

I will upload the file to a London Drug lab nearest the purchaser. The print will be pre-paid by me. I will email the invoice to the buyer when the print is ready. The buyer will be responsible for picking it up and the framing. Michael's sells nice 11.75 by 36-inch frames for $70 to $80 but they can usually be purchased for 40% or 50% off. The purchaser will have to trim ~¼ inch off of one edge in order for it to fit in the off-the-shelf frame.

 

As many of you on here know, Clive is a very accomplished photographer. You can see more of his excellent work here:

I'll start this one off myself!

37. BRONSON AUTOMATIC REEL AND TED WILLIAMS ROD donated by dryfly

More from dryfly:

"This set is probably from the early 60s. The rod is classed with the old system and "In the early 1960’s the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturer’s Associations (AFTMA) created the system presently in use." The rod is in mint condition. It is a Triple-Crown "Ted Williams" signature rod, model 80-2 and it is ~8 foot long. It is classed as an HDH-HCF which should make it a 6-7 weight.

 

The automatic reels works well. The line is obviously old. While photographing, I found a flaw on the reel foot. It was obviously damaged and repaired. (See image in slide show.) It seems to have no affect on the functioning and the repair is solid.

 

I will not mail this item, so we will have to arrange a pickup somewhere."

 

Here is a slide show of the set.

 

Current Bid:$50 Taco

39. SNOWBOARDING LESSONS donated by Brian M.

More from Brian:

"what I would offer is a 3 hour lesson for two people (adults or kids) with rentals and passes at Nakiska with an trained and certified snowboard instructor who has been teaching at Nakiska for 6 seasons. As this would not be affiliated with TUC at all, please just use my first name and first initial. Thanks.

 

This is for either a never-ever up to someone that is looking to get better at cruising down black diamond mogul runs in the glades. Any ability!

 

This is NOT transferable to another resort or to skiing lessons (rather than snowboarding). The lesson will be set on an agreed upon date next December.

From Rick: To give you an idea of the value of this unbelievable offer, the cost of the lift tickets, rental package, and 2, 3hr lessons for two adults would be $750!!

Thank you Brian!!
