April 29, 2017, 4:30 – 10 pm (Dinner at 6 pm)

Otsego Club, Gaylord, MI

If you’re going to have a banquet on the Opening Day of Trout Season, it better be good. The Anglers of the Au Sable’s banquet

only happens every five years. Live and silent auctions, raffles, camaraderie, and a cause. This isn’t just for looks, this is to raise

money to protect the river from a discharge permit for a fish farm. Fly fishers know how important this fight is, which is why the

donations have been pouring in from guides, fly shops, sales representatives, and even the companies themselves. We’ve hardly

had to ask to receive what we think is a still accumulating line-up of goods and services.

Featuring:

• Guide trips from noted Michigan guides including Eric Grajewski, Jeff Hubbard, Jon

Ray, Kevin Feenstra and many others…

• Rare and collectible fly rods from Bob Summers, Sweetgrass Fly Rods, and Keystone

Rod Company…

• Top end items from Sage, R.L. Winston, Simms, Bauer, Hatch and many others…

• Collectibles from Tom Morgan, Dennis Potter, Ogden Pleissner, Kent Lund and more…

• Excursions to Brookhaven Pond, a two-day midnight mousin’ adventure, a cast-andblast

adventure…

• Original signed copies of Seasons on the Au Sable, by Rusty Gates…

• And a whole bunch more…

Tickets are $100/person. Tables are $1000. Tickets include choice of five entrees and two bar tickets.
