Arron Varga Could Use Your Help

Regular readers might recognize the name Arron Varga, one of my teammates for the past two years on The Ospreys fly fishing team participating in The Canadian Fly Fishing Championships.

From personal experience, I can say that Arron is one of the most selfless anglers I know, always willing to share his knowledge about fly fishing and fly tying.  And he’s very good at both.  I’m honoured that I have been able to fly fish with him – and am proud to say that he’s been selected to be on the Canadian team heading off to New Zealand in April for the Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships.

For these fly fishing competitions, all expenses are borne by the individual competitor. Therefore, sponsorships and fund raising activities can be very important to help get the anglers to the competitions.  To this end, The First Cast fly shop in Guelph, Ontario are holding a fund raising raffle to assist Arron and the prize is a $250.00 gift certificate.

More information is available at the The First Cast’s website.

Hurry – the draw takes place on March 8th, 2008.
