And as mentioned the local fly tyers will be donating flies as well.
Tickets will be available for purchase, but Hutch has also created lots of great games to give each angler and participant a better chance of winning.
BBQ
Jamie "Smokey" Hernandez will be doing his Smokin' magic! If you haven't experienced one of his Tri Tip Sandwiches yet then you haven't lived! AMAZING!!! Bring your appetite!!
All of this is for a great cause and in support of a great company that has done a lot in support of our local fly fishing community here in So Cal.
Hopefully we will see you on Sat. Thanks
