Have already committed to a bunch of tickets. When else would I ever get the opportunity to fish with Butch, the Vaccum and Duane, all in one week??
I know the area, know the guys and am really going to be upset if I don't win this trip!!!

Duane, I need 2 more tickets for a friend! Does anybody on my side of town have any? I'm in Kennesaw daily (M-F) and usually head into Buckhead 1-2 times a week. FishHawk got any?

Greg,
If you need them right away, send me your friends name ,address, and phone # and I`ll fill 2 tickets out for him, and you or he can send me a check. If you can wait, I`ll have tickets at the GWF show at the Atlanta Expo Center next Sat. the 5th, the GWFF meeting at the Delkwood Grill on the 14th, and at the Fly Fishing show at the Gwinett Center on the 26th and 27th. Also at the Foothills Banquet on Mar.5 when the drawing will be held.The Fish Hawk doesn`t have any tickets, they along with Orvis didn`t want to be responsible for handling the money , which I can understand.
Good to see you last night!
Thanks,
Duane

Hey Duane,

I got his $$ and I hope to make the GWF on Sat the 5th. Heading back to Delkwood Grill so soon gives me the willies after I was in an minor accident going to the TU meet there lastnight! :( Altough I'd like to make to a GWFF meet somtime. I too will be at the SWS at Gwinnett and hope to make the March Foothills Banquet to hear my name being read from the winning ticket! :D So it looks like our paths will soon cross! ;)

Thanks
Greg

No, Greg--- rephrase that. You can't wait to hear my name being read from the winning ticket. My dad bought ours. I'm not sure how many he purchased, but I can tell you that he really wants that trip. Had a great time with you guys at the RR, and left with lots of new goodies. That new Diamondback Rod casts pretty well.

Unless you are planning to attend the Foothills Banquet, the Flyfishing show next weekend will be your last chance to get tickets for the raffle. They will be available at the TU booth. Also I will be working with Butch Martin at the Green River Guest Ranch booth, I`ll have some pictures of mine and Hoover`s adventures from previous trips to check out and you can talk to Butch about booking your own trip there. Week long packages that include 5 days guided fishing, 6 nights food and lodging , float and or wade trips, whatever you want to do, for 1450$. You can`t find a better price or experience IMHO! and if you don`t want a guide, you can book a cabin for 80$ a night for two people and go fish on your own!
Thanks,
Duane

For those of you who don't know these three trout bums, you can't go wrong. All three know exactly what they're talking about.

Trust me, YOU WANT THIS TRIP! You can't pack more angling knowledge, or experience into one week than Georgia TU has done with this trip.

Come on out to the TU Booth this weekend, and get plenty of tickets.
