Tie-a-thon
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 มี.ค. 2020
Tim Scott and Terry Wittorp started the Tie-a-thon to supply donated flies to other non-profit organizations that need them for therapeutic and recreational camps to teach fly fishing.
In the fall of 2006 we came up with the idea of gathering fly tiers from the FFF club, St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers and from Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of TU to tie as many flies as possible to donate to KVCTU youth camp.
Year-to-date, the Tie-a-thon has donated over 310,000 flies! There is more to come….join us.
We don't want money, all we want are flies....pick a pattern, tie 100 and donate them....all flies go to the cause. It's grassroots and there is barely a budget, because we are not about money just flies and getting them into the hands of someone for the first time or who could use fly fishing in their world...... join us.
