#FliesforWarmSpring Auction ~ Hosted Metolius River Trip

Fly Tier Josh Mills and the folks at the Fly Fishing Collaborative have launched an online social media auction to raise money for the first domestic aquaponics farm to be installed on the Warm Springs Reservation. The goal is $50,000, and as you can imagine, it will take an effort by the whole community of anglers to hit that goal. If you would like to auction off a dozen flies, bid on flies, or help out in this effort, reach out to Josh Mills @millsfly on Instagram.

To that end, Jennifer and Joel La Follette are auctioning off a day of hosted fishing on the Metolius River for two lucky anglers. This trip includes a tasty shore lunch, casting instruction (if needed,) secret flies, and a day of fishing this beautiful spring creek with your favorite fly shop owners. All parties will agree on the dates for this adventure between March 1st and June 30th, 2025. This package does not include transportation, fishing license, tackle, waders, and other personal gear.

This auction will run from September 12th to 30th, corresponding with the La Follette's Fall Migration to Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming for their annual Trout Bum Road Trip. Follow along on Instagram @royaltreatmentflyfishing and bid often!
