Fellow Fly Fisherman & Family in need of a helping hand or two&#33

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

Last week, a fire destroyed the dining cabin and owners' cabin at a fly fishing camp in King Salmon, Alaska. In the fire they lost all of their fishing equipment. So I'm posting here to see if anyone would be willing to donate any items to the camp. Especially fishing equipment, but flies are also much needed. I'm new at fly tying, so it takes me way longer to complete just one than I'm sure it takes some of you masters and gurus to tie 20. If anyone is interested, please just let me know and I will forward you the contact info. Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity, in helping fellow fly fishermen/women.

 

Duckydoty's friend,

Hey rhino-

 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, please anything and everything will work, they lost everything. I will send you a PM with the address. When I made this post I wasn't thinking about how to pay for the shipping of any equipment??? I have a couple of ideas, I'll include them in my PM to you. Thanks again, you rock!!!

is there a name of this place???

 

yeah.... Not that I'm ever unwilling to help out someone in need (I've sort of made a career of it), but isn't this what insurance is for? I don't mean to sound cold hearted.

 

maybe I misunderstood- is this supposed to be a private camp, or is it part of an outfitter/guide service?

All your efforts and donations are greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who posted and pitched in. Flies and other donations are coming in from all over. It's a great feeling to know there are caring and generous people who are willing to help out total strangers who share common hobbies, past times and passions! Happy tying and fish ON!
