Texas Fly Fishers Annual Auction - Sat, April 16

The Texas Fly Fishers will hold their annual Auction on Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 10:00am to 2:00pm at Bethany Christian Church on 3223 Westheimer in Houston. The fishing public is invited to come by and scoop up on some great deals - including a few of a lifetime - on fly fishing gear, fishing art, outdoor gear, and great guided trips. For example, a custom 3-weight bamboo rod by Joel Hubscher, one of his most highly-sought after rods worth $1800!

The trips up for auction include a guided trip for two on a Texas Hill Country river, with all equipment, food, flies, and leaders provided, by Kevin Hutchinson, of HillCountry Fly Fishers, and a trip to Big Kiamichi Ranch in Antlers, Oklahoma, including lodging, for fishing on 5 spring fed lakes! And many others, also!

Admission is FREE. Lunch is available for $9. Raffle tickets are $5. The silent auction is from 10:00am to 2:00pm, with the live auction from noon to 1:30pm. The auction provides 70% of the Texas FlyFishers annual funds and is the club's only fundraising activity. Funds are used to support their educational goals and activities.
