Want to show the world your tight loop or perfect fly presentation? Here is your chance.
We are auctioning off a day with the cast and crew of Trout Unlimited’s television show, On the Rise. Airing on the Outdoor Channel and hosted by Telluride, Colorado fishing guide, Frank Smethurst, On the Rise takes you to some of the best fly fishing spots around the country. You will have a chance to join Frank on one of his fishing (and filming) stops for the 2009 season and have a shot at being on the show.
Plus your winning bid will directly support Trout Unlimited’s efforts to protect, conserve and restore our nation’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
