The Lodge at Palisades Creek in Irwin, ID has been nice enough to donate 1 Night of Lodging and 2 Days of guided fly fishing for our 1st Annual Benefit. This is a great Auction Item and an opportunity to stay at a high end lodge and throw big dry flies against the banks of the South Fork. To bid on the item check out our website at www.casthope.org/events/auctions or come hang out at the event.

I will keep you updated as more stuff comes in.

Tight Lines!

Today my board members and I went out to the Leland Ranch for our final walk through before the 1st annual benefit. Lelands is doing some great work to the place. They have a new deck going in and the renovated barn is now empty for our use. This is going to be an awesome venue for Cast Hope. I hope you guys are able to come and make it.

I have also updated a few of the auction bids. The big news is that Slims guided fly fishing trip on the Trinity is now up to $525. That guy is in demand. Still plenty of other items to get in on. Including a guided striper trip with Mike Costello.

Thanks for your consideration in getting youth fly fishing on the water. Follow us on Facebook as we update each trip we do.
