Tenkara USA announced yesterday on their blog that they are sponsoring a reverse hackle fly tie-a-thon this weekend and will donate all the proceeds to the Colorado flood victims.
This is a unique tie-a-thon since you get to keep all the flies you tie this weekend for the event and Tenkara USA will hopefully make a sizable donation when it is over.
Here are the rules for the weekend event...
1. The only flies that will be counted for this event will be reverse hackle flies, such as the Kebari, that are typically used in tenkara style angling.
2. Participants should then post photos or videos on Facebook or Twitter and use the hashtags #tenkarausa and #tenkara4COflood.
3. Tenkara USA will donate $1 for every fly tied or $5 for every fly tying video uploaded using the appropriate hashtags.
4. This event begins today and will end on Sunday, September 22nd, 2013 at midnight.
