Hey fellow anglers!

With the Thompson River once again in the news this fall, we would like to announce:

The 2012 Steelhead Society of BC Pub Night Fundraiser is November 29th!

This year, the SSBC is looking at a project on rehabilitating the Bonaparte (an important steelhead spawning tributary to the Thompson river). It will be a similar sort of deal as last year's Spius creek rehabilitation project regarding habitat restoration....

Location is Micky's Pub (170 Golden Drive, Coquitlam).  This allows easier access for folks from the sunny side of the Fraser to attend...

There will be a live auction, silent auction, swag, and much more.

Tickets are only $20, and that includes a burger and a beer! Beyond the prizes, food, and drinks, this is really a great opportunity to socialize with a dedicated group of steelheaders. If you aren't a SSBC member, there will be membership forms available.

Once again we are asking concerned anglers to dig deep into their wallets and buck up. Its pretty painfully clear that federal and provincial governments could care less about our Thompson River steelhead resource so its up to grass roots initiatives like this, to mitigate the damage from habitat loss and brutally timed commercial salmon fisheries etc.

Here is the poster for this year's big event!

I'm just going to assume you were all too busy entering the date/time/location in your calendars to respond here.  lol

See you at the end of the month!

I'll see everyone there.

Can't wait to snag some goodies in the auction. Helping out a good cause sure is a good excuse to buy more gear

Agreed!  Nothing like a good excuse to boost the gear count!

Come say hi when you get there, Sterling.
