CRTU Sage Rod Auction

Welcome to the CRTU Sage Rod Auction!  This event is a fundraiser for CRTU projects involving habitat restoration, fishing community development, and youth education.  This is not an event to procure high-quality used gear at the lowest price possible.  Please be as generous as you can for a great cause and most of all -- Have Fun! 

Our thanks to Raymond Lewis of Chicago whose love of fishing the Driftless made these rods available for fundraising for CRTU and to allow these rods to continue to fish the Driftless!   We hope that the chapter picnic attendees enjoyed getting to cast these rods and appreciate their vintage heritage.  

Coulee Region Trout Unlimited (CRTU) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer organization serving Crawford, Juneau, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland, and Vernon counties in Wisconsin's Driftless Region. We are concerned with conservation, community, and fishing. We are dedicated to caring for and recovering the rivers and streams of the Driftless area for future generations to enjoy and experience.
