Thanks for the reminder Marty!

Last year there weren't as many folks as there were seats. Too bad! I fished on my own, in my boat the day of last year's tournament ... angling pressure was pretty low, but I went home with a 31 pound buck and a 37 pound hen. There's great fishing in November and doing it for a good cause makes it that much sweeter!

What are the events besides fishing for two days? I think there is an auction and dinner, correct? Advanced tickets too?

Marty, looking forward to fishing with you on the 8th and 9th, thanks for asking. images/icons/cool.gif images/icons/wink.gif

GF, Pete and Hookset,
Any other information on what guides meeting times and cost?I sure want another chinook. Need to get the skunk off my pole. The last 2 weeks in the T bay and 0 bites. images/icons/mad.gif Tried the Nehalem from Wheeler to about 2 miles up the S. Fork. Lots of fish rolling up there but not too many in the boats. Lots of Native silvers. I was using silver spinners and a blue fox vibrax , nada ,zero,zilch ,not even 1 take down. Maybe this wek I should try either the Trask or Nestucca and use some eggs. Tight lines!! images/icons/cool.gif

From what I remember the cost is $500 each for two days, could be more now.

Marty?

I just spoke with Rod Brobeck from OWHF and he said he has opening for 4 anglers and 2 guides.

If you are interested to be an angler in the 2-day event, the cost is $500. All meals are provided, however you are responsible for your own lodging.
(I know, $500 is a lot of money but remember, it's a good cause)

If you are interested to be a guide in the event you need to provide boat, tackle and all equipment for two anglers for the 2 days of fishing.

If interested, please call the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation (503) 255-6059 asap!

The Auction on Thursday evening has always been a good one, every year our good friend Willie, donates one of his famous drift-boats, (the past two or three years it's been a ready to fish 17 footer!) There are also great fishing items to bid on as well as some beautiful wildlife art items.

It's just a great time to be had by all those who participate and attend.

If you can't make it this year, start planning now for the 18th annual event!
