3. Make lifetime memories with fishing friends during a one-week (7 day, 6 night) stay at a cabin on the bank of

the famous Pere Marquette River near Baldwin, Michigan. Choose between seasonal salmon (Sept, Oct), steelhead (Nov, Mar, Apr), or resident brown trout (May-July) opportunities. The PM’s king salmon average 10-14 pounds and can reach 30! Steelhead average 6-8 pounds and can top 15. Resident browns average 10-14 inches and biguns’ can top 20. For trophy brown hunters, don’t forget that the dark-sixty Hex hatch happens in early July. The flies-only section of the PM is only 15 minutes away, while several other famous

Michigan waters are within driving distance. The two-bedroom, one-bath cabin sleeps a comfortable 4 and a cozy 6 adventurers. There are two twin beds in one bedroom, one queen in another, one queen foldout couch and one full futon in the living room, and a set of bunkbeds on the enclosed porch that has a space heater. The cabin has a full kitchen with electric stove and fridge. The flyfishing guidebook, Trout Streams of Michigan, is also included in this prize package. Speak with Rabunite Jeff Durniak (706-892-6576) for details and contact information for the cabin owner, Jeff’s college roommate and an honorary Rabunite. Grab a bunch of fishing buddies and bid high!

To see more about the 2012 trip, click HERE and “November 2012”, page 3.

The cabin is about 850 miles north of Rabun County (14 hrs driving). A lot closer than some of the places Rabunites go to fish!

4. A half day (last half) for one person fly fishing in the Chattooga River upper backcountry with Rabunite Pat Hopton, with a theme of a "till dark-thirty brown trout excursion into the wild and remote Ellicott Rock Wilderness" (preferably around May 20....) And see the Chattooga fairies (and maybe some green drakes)! Includes a Rabunite supper back at the vehicle about 10:30 PM. Bring a good flashlight & be prepared to walk about 5 to 6 miles (could be a “life changing event”). Donated by Pat Hopton

17- inch wild brown trout caught by Pat Hopton on a dry fly in the backcountry Friday evening, May 15th, photographed and released unharmed
