Evergreen Trout Unlimited (ETU) is raffling off several guided flyfishing trips and angling equipment over the next several months in an effort to raise funds for the chapter. Currently two raffles are underway: one for a guided flyfishing float trip for two on the Roaring Fork River plus two night's accommodations, dinner for two, and a flyfishing guidemap/book. The second raffle is for a hand-made bamboo rod with accompanying Ross Evolution reel.
Raffle tickets are available at Evergreen National Bank in downtown Evergreen, or can be ordered via mail by downloading a form on the chapter's website
www.EvergreenTrout.org. Tickets can also be purchased at the next chapter meeting on Wed., Nov 18. The meeting will feature a speaker from North Park Anglers and be held at Beau Jo's in downtown Evergreen, starting at 6:30pm. More information on the raffles can be found on the website.

They work on many aspects of restoring and preserving Bear Creek habitat. They also teach children flyfishing, fly tying and conservation, and work with children's hospice groups.
