Bid here for the trip for sam

Well this will be the last post before the final day of the auction for Sam.  Many people have contacted me about making donations, you can mail a check made out to Sam and Renee Kennedy to Kennedy, C/O Katrina Henry PO box 563 Forks Wa 98331

In case you missed the previous posts here are the details.

My good friend and fellow fishing guide Sam Kennedy has been very sick with cancer for some time, and despite good health insurance it has predictably put his family on the ropes financially.  There is a benefit dinner for him here in Forks on the 7th and lots of guides including myself have offered to donate trips for auction. I have decided instead of donating a trip I will be donating a fly caught steelhead, no matter how many trips it takes, weather or not you have ever cast a fly rod before, post your bid on the blog and if you are the highest bidder I will take you fishing until you hook and land a fresh run adult steelhead.


                                                                 Plenty of nice fish around              

The auction will close about 7:00pm on Saturday night.  Any bids placed after 5:30 will have to be placed by phone, if you want to be notified of the highest bib before the close contact me and we can arrange it.  If you would like to post an online bid before then you can do so at the bottom of this page by clicking on comments.

Currently the leading bid is $550.00

As For a fishing report, well the weather, river conditions and fishing have all been good to great for the last week.  The water is getting low so you may want to get a little sneaky.

    Hey Jim,
    I don't know if this is feasable or not but maybe you can post Sam's situation on Westfly.com. It might make more people aware of his situation and allow for more donations. I'll get him some money when I come up in March.
