Jayhad Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I would like to believe we at FFC could pull off something like this. In the thread you can give up something you have no use for, if you gave up something you can take something of like value. Perhaps it is something we can one day strive to accomplish in the name Christmas and as an attempt to bring our fractured Alberta fishing community together. What say you? http://forum.flybc.ca/index.php?showtopic=34231 Quote
Brunsie Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I think it's a great idea. When FlyBC started this last year, it was more of a "pay it forward" thing, not a "trade for equal value" event like it is this year. I think for it to work, participants can't be too worried about getting something back of equal value. That said, if it takes off here, I'm in. :Hi jack: One other thing FlyBC does that could be a lot of fun is they have a Christmas Luncheon get together where people can meet other board members. perhaps we could try something like that as well if anyone is intereted. Later BK Quote
darrinhurst Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I have a 52" ceiling fan valued at over $400 retail. Brand new, still in the box, that I will donate to this cause. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I have a Belly Boat that's in good shape that I'm willing to give up. (Got too fat for it after I got an office job) I'll post brand and pics if needed once I get home. I would also like to credit the fine folks at Flybc.ca for starting this great idea. http://forum.flybc.ca/index.php?showtopic=34231 Quote

Jayhad Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 I will take the guided trip above the weir. Thanks Yours, late june good for ya? and it's for two if you can't fill that we can put the spot up for another to jump on. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I'll make it work anytime and if anyone wants to jump in on the second seat then go for it. Quote
reevesr1 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Hmmm, great idea. When I get home I'll see what I have. Quote
npauls Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 This type of thing has worked really well for the last couple years on Alberta Outdoorsman forum. Good to see the Pay it forward thing spreading across the net. I will look around and see if I can contribute. Quote
firefrog Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Hey I'm up for this. I have a bottle of custom made port/dessert wine from a special recipe that I have perfected over the years. Better than most of the stuff you can buy at the liquor store. Cheers Quote

reevesr1 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I can donate a couple of nights at my condo in Panorama during the ski season, as long as the "winner" is willing to be flexible on dates. If I have an open date < 2 weeks out, I can let it go. Weekdays only. Sorry to be so restrictive, but I'm not the only owner! Quote
darrinhurst Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Wow. Looks like this died a quick and miserable death. Quote
darrinhurst Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Oh....I still have that ceiling fan..... Quote
Foothills86 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I don't have a whole lot to offer but i am more than willing to donate a seat in my jeep for one of the many trips i will do next year. I mainly do walk and wade style trips, i have a couple lakes in mind for next year as well. Lunch will be provided, gas will be covered, i will offer up the knowledge i have of the river and what I find to work. I will even buy the beers at the end of the day... I am not a guide, but I do have a decent knowledge of some rivers and creeks and seem to catch my share of fish. We are better than this guys, lets keep this thread going. Quote

I will take the seat in the jeep and offer up a set of professional grade Pizza cook pans and serving trays to go with them. (NEW, need seasoning. I can help with that) Quote
troutfriend Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Maybe some of these items could be donated to the next Streamwatch auction.... Just a thought Quote
Tungsten Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I have a 52" ceiling fan valued at over $400 retail. Brand new, still in the box, that I will donate to this cause. I'll take the fan Darrin if its still available. Quote
Jayhad Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 Guys, you can take something if you have put something up. Streamwatch is a noble donation but we aren't trying to create another streamwatch donation stream, this thread is to be about helping each other out with what you have. Quote
darrinhurst Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I'll take the fan Darrin if its still available. Mike, It's yours. Did you want to pick it up, or did you want me to drop it off? Quote
Tungsten Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Mike, It's yours. Did you want to pick it up, or did you want me to drop it off? Awesome thanks.I'll pick it up or we could meet for a fish over the holidays if the weather cooperates. Quote
