Dear friends,
Please find below, is our advertisement for the SSBC Thompson River/Spius Creek Fund Raising Pub Night.
(http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa378/chromemykiss/ssbc-poster.jpg)
In an effort to raise the rest of the funds and have a good time along the way, the SSBC is hosting a Thomspon River/Spius Creek Fundraiser Pub Night Fund at the Bourbon 50 West Cordova in Vancouver, on Novemeber 23rd 7:30 PM. There will be lots of great door prizes, silent auction prizes and live auction prizes to be had. These prizes include custom handcrafted flies, "Steelhead" Buffs, an Islander reel, rod/reel combos, 9 guided trips, and many more. Featuring live, Arc of the Universe Recording Artists, "The Coalition" and "Kyla Coopman".
So far the SSBC has pledged $10,000, the BC Federation of Fly Fishers has pledged $10,000, Kingfishers Rod and Gun Club $5,000, Totem Fly Fishers $3,000, Kalamalka Fly Fishers $1,000 and $1,000 from the Northern Branch of the Steelhead Society. The funds raised will be used for stream stabilization and structure (rock and wood) projects on Spius Creek. Spius Creek is an important spawning and rearing tributary for the Thompson river Steelhead.
We are currently in need of fly donations. If you would like to help out with donating your favourite steelhead flies to a great cause, please send them to:
Steelhead Society of British Columbia
#110-1140 Austin Avenue
Coquitlam, BC V3K 3P5
We hope you are able to attend this event as it promises to be a lot of fun.
Thank you for your support of Thompson Steelhead!

I'll be there.

I will tolerate country music for this.

See you all there, it's gonna be a blast!

Should be a great night....Can't wait!!
The owners of the Bourbon, have very generously donated the venue for the evening. Thanks Gus!! It is a country bar, but you can leave your 10 gallon hats at home. The musicians that will be playing acoustic sets are blues/rock n roll, and the evening will be all about the cause :)
Hope to see lots of you there!!

Looks good! Hope Aaron doesn't mind but I've got a new desktop. ;D

See ya there

why a wednesday night? id probably go if it were a friday or saturday night but driving in from the valley to vancouver on a work night is not something I really want to do.

The Bourbon is a busy place on Friday and Saturday night hard to host an event of this type those nights. Gus the owner has been great a very helpful gracious host and he fishes so he wishes the best for the SSBC and this event. Some more prizes for the night a custom Moby net donated by Don Chatwin, Islander Steelheader Reel from Islander, St.croix Spey rod, Fly Lines from Scientific Angler and Rio, Dave Allen has donated four hours of tattoo time worth $640 with more stuff to come....Personally, I would drive the 3 hours each way (six total :) ) to fish the Thompson religiously in my too short of a career there...I miss the drive the river and fishing for those fish.

Hey greyghost, if you are going is it possible to car pool. The driving is too much for me to handle by myself with my back, so the only way for me to go would be to get a ride out there.
-
No problem Geff. I will talk to later this week. ;)
-
Only two weeks left before the Thompson/Spius Creek Fundraising Pub Night :) We hope all you Thompson river anglers can make it out. The more money we can raise that night, the more rock/woody debris structures we can fund on Spius Creek.
Brian Babcock will be hosting the live auction. Fly Gal, April Vokey, will be in attendance.
We are still looking for fly donations, please drop them off at either Sea Run Fly & Tackle or Pacific Angler to guarantee that they will make in time for this event. Thanks

Hook,
We are not picky when it comes to steelhead fly donations. We will take all styles of flies, from small low water to giant intruder type flies.
If you cannot make it to our pub night, our donation box is always a good way to help out the cause. Check out our website for details on donations http://www.steelheadsociety.org/ (http://www.steelheadsociety.org/) Thanks for your interest in helping out.

To clarify Chrome Mykiss' response, it would probably be good if the flies were for steelhead. But we won't be looking any gift horses in the mouth... Thanks

Bumping this back to the top for a great cause.

:)
-
With only 15 FWR members going, that's pretty high odds for winning some pretty awesome prizes isn't it.

Can't wait for the big night...it is going to be a blast!
