Don’t forget that legendary rod maker “Boo Boy” Glenn Brackett from Sweetgrass Rods will be presenting the April 15 BRTU program at 7:00 pm at the Hamilton Elks Club.
Glenn says that anyone that has a special bamboo rod they own or have made should bring it down and he will take a gander at it. This is a chance to learn from a bona fide master.
Also, Glenn will be bringing tickets for chances on a Sweetgrass Rod raffle that the Lewis and Clark TU chapter is raffling off as a fund raiser. This 3-piece, 2 tip, 7'9" 4/5 weight bamboo rod is being built specifically for LCTU chapter by the booboys!
They will sell no more than 300 tickets for this $2500-valued rod with the drawing to be held at the LCTU fundraising event on October 2, 2010.
Ticket prices are $20 for 1 ticket, $100 for 6 tickets, or $300 for 20 tickets. You won’t want to miss out!!!! So, bring a check made out to Lewis and Clark Trout Unlimited.
If you can’t make the meeting, but still want to snag a raffle ticket, contact Dave Delisi at Sweetgrass (406-684-5440, or click HERE to email him) to buy some tickets.
