Flies for Fins

April Vokey the fly fishing superstar from Flygal Ventures started an awesome initiative earlier this year called Flies for Fins where people could donate flies to help raise money for to preserve populations of BC Steelhead.

I have never fished for these beautiful fish but there is no doubt in my mind that one day I want to get over to BC to try and tempt one of these guys with my fly.  Happily FishTwits has managed to secure a few of packs of flies from April, more happily the flies were a bargain at $10 a pack and even more happily all the money is going toward preserving the Steelhead populations so that when I do finally get over to BC the only thing that will stop me from hooking up with one will be my skills :-).

If you want to get some of these flies (and who wouldn’t?) head over to April’s blog and follow the instructions (they are selling really quickly!).

To top it all off, April is holding a silent auction on her Facebook Fanpage where you can bid on loads of great fishing gear donated by people from all over the world (including an awesome new FishTwits T-shirt) to support the cause.
