Okay members, the time is near! This is by far the finest outfit we have raffled off to date. It is one sweet rig so don't miss the next meeting on April 9th and buy tickets early and often!

Today I went to A Marblehead Flyfisher in Centreville, DE to get the line and backing. The owner of the shop, Terry Peach, informed me that 100 yards of backing will be a little shy of filling the Everglades spool, soooooooooooo I've upped the anty and the grand prize will include 250 yards of backing - compliments of A Marblehead Fly Fisher! Thank you Terry!

You won't be able to get the whole 250 yards on the reel but you can probably get 150-200 on it. Plenty for anything I ever catch!

We all owe a debt of gratitude to Terry for his "sponsoring" of our grand prize in this year's Grand Raffle. Without his efforts we would not have been able to afford to offer such an excellent saltwater fly rod, reel, line, and backing. Let's all show our gratitude by stopping by Terry's shop and supporting him!
