Children's Wish - Bow River Masters. August 23rd, 2009

The Bow River Masters Fly Fishing Derby is a volunteer driven community event run in support of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.
The funds raised directly benefit deserving children living in Alberta and NWT who suffer from
high-risk, life threatening illnesses.
Following a traditional catch-and-release, single day derby
format, points are awarded per fish landed.
An excellent selection of prizes, including a fabulous West Coast Resorts
fishing trip, motivates anglers to do anything within their
means (and the rules) to avoid letting the big one get away.
After a full day drifting the “trophy stretch” of the Bow River,
participants are treated to a closing banquet and an awards
ceremony.

Testimonials speaking to the event’s excellence
abound, but most importantly participants have commented on
the satisfaction they left with knowing their day on the river
translates to delivery of important community services to very
deserving children.


REGISTRATION FEES
$3,000 per angling team or $1,600 per person. Registration
includes meals, guide & boat (if requested) & shuttles. Event
sponsorships are also available.


Stop by the store for more information, and a sign up sheet. Sign up is due by August 3rd. Event runs on the 23rd.
