Yup, only 3 weeks away! Last year at this time we were hanging out, eating pizza and giving away raffle items.
I wanted to share Brett's design for the shirt - he's done an absolutely fantastic job on this year's shirt:
Take a look at those sponsors too!
I'm raffling off one of my own rods - a 7' 4wt progressive rod that I'll be debuting at the gathering.
Dusty is offering one of his ********* Rod Co rods.
Mike McFarland is offering one of his new blanks for the raffle.
Pearl Street Brewery in LaCrosse is supplying some raffle items as well as tasty beers for our dinner.
Dinner (pizza and salad) is supplied by the Driftless Cafe.
Brandon Bailes of Panther Branch Bugs has sent me some killer flies to give away
Vedavoo has given a bag.
Recycled Waders has given a bag.
Tom from 406 Fly Lines has given some lines and hats and may even be there in person!!
The Driftless Angler is supplying goodies.
And more!!
Plus the fishing is guaranteed to be 111% incredible.
I will be doing the raffle a little differently this year. We'll have specific pots for the big prizes and other pots for smaller items. So you can spread your tickets around to increase your chances for a desired item.
I have heard that the Hickory Hill Motel and most other lodging is already booked due to the Norwegian independence celebration. I still have some campsite space available - let me know if interested.
I'm ordering shirts tomorrow and registration continues to the week of the event. But please register sooner rather than later so I can make sure to have everything we need.
Also, depending on how the fishing is we might push back the timeframe for the Friday hangout and Saturday meal.
