RITU’s Annual Fundraiser Banquet is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates cold water conservation, a fine dinner and cool gear auctions both live and silent. With George Daniel at the podium after dinner, you will stock up on gear and advise on how to cast and fish more effectively. This is a wonderful afternoon that supports Trout Unlimited in Rhode Island.
The annual Trees for Trout collection saved 400 trees from landfills, affording them new lives in a much-loved Wood River next summer. Trout Unlimited and RIDEM joined forces again to save then reestablish Christmas trees to create revetments which will provide shade and shelter to fresh water fishes, like trout. Trout Unlimited beats with a heart of volunteerism and this year was another strong success.
New Year’s Cleanup Time means January is for donating your Christmas tree to Trout Unlimited and shopping with the Surfcasters at Surf Day. You can drop off your tree to help support the Wood River then the following week, shop for new and used fishing gear at the much-anticipated Surf Day. All the details are here.
The Narragansett Surfcasters are hosting a blood drive and a day fishing with veterans and would love to share a pint with you, so to speak. They are driven to be charitable and could use a few minutes of your time to share their drive. Learn more in this week’s Fish Wrap.
