Supporter funding strong as ever!!

The storefront Supporter Decal Program is a real hit with tackle retailers, restaurants and other businesses. These supporting businesses donate 200 dollars towards our Fisheries Enhancement Fund. In return, the Ontario Steelheaders are supplying the stores and businesses with a storefront “Supporter” decal to display, as well as an advertisement spot in this newsletter. The funding generated from this project will go a long way to improve our fishery. Every member of the Ontario Steelheaders is encouraged to present the program to someone they know. Please do your part and keep the program and our fishery moving forward.

Hope you all had a great winter, and got a change to get out to fish steelies this winter. What a season!
Our usual program of 50/50 draws and random prize draws will take place as usual this year so we’ll be in the park on weekends selling tickets to support the Steelheader’s projects.

We have another Rod and Reel Draw underway for 2012. The Rod is a custom, 13 Ft, 2 pc Baston IST rod, rated 6-10lb., hand tied and donated by Ernie Jantzen of Rodman Custom Rods. The reel is a custom 4 7/8” Riverkeeper, hand assembled by Rob Marquette. Both pieces are donated towards the enhancement of the Saugeen River’s Steelhead fishery, and uniquely made in Ontario by guys that fish local streams.

We are appealing to everyone to get their tickets for a chance to win this great set-up and to all members to help us sell them. We did great with last year’s draw. Let’s do it again!

We have lots of ideas for upcoming fundraisers, and we’re always open to new ideas, if you have any suggestions or wish to donate prizes for our draws, please contact me.

Keep your stick on the ice!
