Minam Store Float Trip Giveaway

posted by

Small Craft Sales is partnering with Minam Store Outfitters and a bunch of other great brands to promote a four-day guided fly-fishing trip for two people down the roadless, wild and scenic section of the Wallowa and Grande Ronde Rivers. This is an all-inclusive trip down a remote, wild and scenic river system in eastern Oregon and is valued at $14,048 for one lucky winner. We're buying the winner and a lucky friend two pairs of Skwala Carbon Waders for the trip.

From Minam Store Outfitters: “There is a secret kept in the canyons of the Wallowa and Grande Ronde Rivers. That secret is a blue-ribbon trout fishery that few realize is there and even fewer fly-fishing guides know the seasons, hatches and tactics to entice trophy-sized rainbows to the fly. One reason this fishery is relatively unknown is the fact that it exists in a 40-mile roadless canyon federally designated as a wild and scenic river. Accessing this special place requires a commitment of 3-5 days, but the rewards are great with exceptional trout fishing and arguably the best river camping to be had. Clean air filled with the smell of conifers, cottonwood and wildflowers.”

We’re also sending the two winners a pile of great gear to use on your angling adventure.
