Fishing for Relief
Help Raise $50,000 for Carr Fire Victims
By now, many of you have heard of the Carr Fire that tore through Shasta County and outlying communities this past week. The fire has destroyed 1,067 homes, and is threatening another 1,358 buildings. To date the fire has burned 131,896 acres and is 39% contained.
Many of you have reached out to us here at The Fly Shop inquiring what you can do to help, and this includes some of the world-class fly fishing outfitters we work with.
Fishing for Relief: The Fly Shop and two of its partners – Golden Dorado Cruiser in Argentina and Tarpon Caye Lodge in Belize – want to help the fire victims. Working with the Native Fish Society and Shasta Regional Community Foundation, we have set up a donation website for those who would like to contribute to the recovery efforts.
Though we understand you are not donating in order to win a free fishing trip, each of your donations will in fact enter you in a raffle to win a free trip to the Golden Dorado Cruiser, or Tarpon Caye Lodge. Any amount of donation will help, and qualify to win a trip. A $20 donation buys 1 ticket and there is no limit to the amount you can donate. The more you donate, the better your odds of winning a trip.
100% of your donation (excluding online credit card processing fees) will go to Carr Fire recovery efforts. You have The Fly Shop’s word on that!
