A couple of updates on donations …
Ron Barch, a long-time donor for our annual banquets, has taken it to another level this year. The winner of Ron’s bamboo rod this year will visit Ron’s shop, cast several rod designs/lengths, select the rod of choice, and Ron will build to your specifics. The winner can even join him if desired. Once the rod is done Ron will take winner, with new rod, for a day of fishing.
Marella Poortenga at Grand Gallery Fine Art has helped donate this matted & framed photo taken by Jason Jagger. You might recognize it as it graces on of the RIO fly-line boxes.
Here’s a list of our current donors. Without their support, it wouldn’t be possible to protect cold water streams in West Michigan.
