Good cause... what do you think this might go for??? $3K to $5K ?

 

[scott craven]

Since the trip is for 2 people, I'm thinking more like 8-10 K ?

price unknown

No idea what it will go for, but it's a non fishing crowd, if it's in your budget, i'd bid, keep in mind as a registered charity, there is no tax which saves an additional 1100.00 on top of the 9500.00.

It is unguided and I would assume its for LFL (Langara Floating Lodge) plus all dates are off season dates. I think Cuba Libre has the got price correct at 3-5g. But it is for charity and could go for more then its really worth cause of that.

Don't think so - we had a Duncanby trip (identical terms, self guided) donated for our derby a few years back and it was $7000 value. The charter flight is the killer there.

The month of June is NOT "off season"

June 29-July ? is hardly off season.... At least not while I guided there. Humpies and Yoyo's won't be too thick and if you want to target Chinooks that is a good trip to pick. I am sure the guides will be sending the guests home with their pick of Chinooks etc.


All the "really good dates" were gone a long time ago.

Make that Langara Fishing Lodge.

plus all dates are off season dates.....

Always is-they know the good tides and flog off the monster swings to the unsuspecting-I was offered a trip for next to nothing a few years back but the June tides as offered just sucked so I passed.

Off season? not in the north my friend........june is prime time for chinooks.

Most guys are usually pretty dam good in the saltwater sections minus the BST thread some days... Think they are just suffering from PMS.

Sure hope they raise some good money for this item. As they should.....

Gotta agree with you - I've lost a couple of friends to Parkinsons - it's a terrible disease.
