FVTU Spring Virtual Auction

It’s the FVTU Spring Online Auction! Consider this your personal invitation to participate in the first-ever Flathead Valley Chapter Trout Unlimited Online Virtual and Digital Extravaganza – May 17-22! Check out all of the great auction items May 9-16.

The board has put together a great lineup of fabulous items to auction off, so take a minute to check out the site. Get registered as a bidder and get your bidding strategy worked out before the action begins next Monday, May 17. Once the auction opens, you can be the bidder that knows how to put the hammer down and bid high enough on the items you want (or DON’T want someone else to get) that you crush the field right away.

I know you do not want that customizable Sweetgrass Bamboo rod sponsored by Whitefish Credit Union to end up in the wrong hands and neither do we. Start big, REALLY BIG and take control of the bidding right away.Or, maybe you are that sneaky bidder that enters the minimum bid but has automatic increases that kick in when someone tries to outbid you. You wanna own the MFC Boat box with 144 of MFCs finest flies? You can just wear them down by your relentless automatic bid increases. Those 144 flies are YOURS! And the trips!

We have the cream of the crop. Put bids in on all of the trips and keep the rest of the field guessing about which one you really want. Full day for 2 on the Clark Fork with Lakestream Fly Shop? Overnighter on the Middle or North Fork of the Flathead with Glacier Anglers? Maximize your flexibility with the half-day trip donated by Mark Fuller and Wild Montana Anglers? Or just step completely out of the box and take that half-day warm-water fishing trip with Lakestream and pester some northern pike or smallmouth bass in our local lakes.

And if you have some gear needs, you really need to check what is available on the site. Maybe it’s a gift item like the Richard Wheatley fly box or the vintage Orvis drink glasses. Or, perhaps you favor the complete setup featuring a Douglas DXF 9-foot 5-weight 4-piece rod matched with a Reddington Rise Reel and a Rio Gold line sponsored by American Bank. Perhaps the old vest isn’t quite big enough anymore and you have to get that Orvis large boat bag donated by True Water Fly Shop in Kalispell. Or, check out the Umpqua Ledges 650 waist pack donated by Lakestream Fly Shop. These are just a few of the high-quality items available to bid on. And there will be more items added between now and next Monday when the bidding starts, so keep checking in for recent additions! https://givergy.us/Flathead/

Bid big, bid strong, and bid often! The Native Trout of the Flathead appreciate and need all the support they can get.
