reevesr1 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Auction has started! If anyone is looking for something to do to help our mountain streams, this is it! Bid, or donate, or both. Anything people can do to help would be great. Here is the link to this year's auction: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=14972 Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I put up closing notices on the first batch of auctions for Friday, April 15 . There are more auctions to follow. PLEASE support this auction with bids or donations!! Donations are certainly still being accepted. Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 First batch of auctions are closing tonite at 8 PM! Quote
LynnF Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Whatever $$ I get from selling Mike's desk/flyfishing stuff I will donate to Streamwatch. Don't know what the amount will be right now, but will let you know when I know. Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Good luck everyone with the last couple of hours of the auction. I have to go out with the wife, so will not see any of the bids. Please bid via this thread, not PM. Nobody can see the PM, and I will not be in a position to check. Also, there are a few items that are ridiculously low. Uber's trip, the Red Deer trip, taco's trip, the lobster, and Clive's book come immediately to mind. And Lynn, that is AWESOME. Quote
Gaffer Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Mike (Tungsten) needs to put up another trip. I was too busy hammering out a bathroom fan & was outbid. Just a suggestion. Andrew Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I just started the second round of auctions. I think I have had a donation or two via PM that I cannot seem to find. I have had to clean my inbox pretty regularly, and tried to make sure I did not delete any of the donation PMs, but it seems I must have deleted them. If you have donated and don't see it in the auctions, please email to remind me. Also, I am still taking donations. There will almost certainly be a round 3. Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 By the way, there are some fantastic trips on this round covering from Edmonton all the way to our southern border. Have a look! Quote
troutsteaks Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Hey Rick. I'm supposed to tell you to get in touch with Andrew Burla in regards to a donation. Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 3 more auctions,. 1 for the kids, 1 where you get to blow things up, and an opportunity to buy a new mapbook from created and donated by tightline! Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Lined up several more items today, so I have enough to start a new round when this one ends. I am extremely gratified of the number of people who are donating items this year. Many people who have donated the before have done so again, and some notable new people kindly donating their time or talents as well. I am very curious how the backpack trip goes, and there is another backpack trip in the queue. My bet is if they are offered up again next year, the pictures generated on these trips will make them more and more popular. Anyway, there are still lots of people on here that have not bid, which is fine. I certainly don't expect participation from everyone. But I would like to say that the trips being donated by members are an excellent chance for new or old fly fishers to meet new people, hopefully fish new water, learn new techniques, and get to donate to a great cause. I have been fortunate to be able to meet people on trips I've donated, and on trips I've bought. I can honestly say that every person I've met on these trips I have fished with on additional trips. And I am privileged to call most of them friends (all except Taco cuz he catches too many fish and his truck stinks like cow). So there is my latest public service announcement. Please get out there and bid! Oh, and did I mention there is a freakin' TFO Spey Rod for sale? For like $40? (sorry troutlover, but I gotta get the price of that one up!!) Quote
adc Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 "or old fly fishers to meet new people" I resemble that remark!! Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Closing notices for Monday at 8 PM put up on many of the items. There are still lots of great deals, including a TFO spey rod valued at $400 currently at $150. And is no one on the board from Edmonton any more? Take it from someone who lives in a neighborhood with a lake, catching big neighborhood rainbows is FUN! Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I just put up the last series of auctions. I plan to run these for 1 week. If ANYONE has anything else to donate, please feel free to do so. I can accept donations up to the weekend. Thanks everyone! Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Amundson just donated a 4 pc 6 wt Top Fly rod in a Wood Finish and a TCR reel to go with it. Auction item #31. Thanks to Amundson and Brunsie! Quote
reevesr1 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Just posted another trip, this time with DrBullTrout (Andrew) on the Castle drainage. Andrew has a habit of catching pretty damn big Bulls. And really, any excuse to get on one of the Castle or any of it's tribs is not to be missed! Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Just added another trip, this time from The Humblefisherman. Jay is offering a trip of the winner's choice. Float the bow, bushwhack or whatever the winner wants. I will pay the winner extra to bring my GPS along. Thanks Jay! Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Closing notices put up for all auctions, Wednesday May 4 at 8 PM. These are the last one's for this year! Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Hello all, I am closing all auctions Wed. at 8 PM. Any bid after 7:59:59 will not be accepted. Quote
