Guest Don R Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the invite John. Even though I don't fly fish it was nice to see some familiar faces. I was high bidder on three silent auction items. Perhaps it's time to give fly fishing a try...now that I own six books about fly fishing and 15 flys Thanks to Craig and Rich for donating those items! I'll post a couple pics that I took and John can explain what they are about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks, Don. The frame contains a watercolor by Jim Tingey of Catch & Release Artwork & a fly tied by Joe Cornwall at the first ISA Fly Show. Spiz won the item at auction & presented it to me afterwards to commemorate that event. Thank you Spiz it is greatly appreciated. Nice pics too, Don. The auction went well - looks like Drift is funded at about the same rate as last year, no small feat in this economy. Don, Spiz & all other bidders - you hauled the load today. Together we accomplish what none of us can do alone. Don, I have a flyrod waiting for you to use... just say when you are ready.

Mike Clifford Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Very nice! Somebody knows how to use a camera. Photos from any event are an endangered species around here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
