Places to donate rods and reels

[perchplucker]

Does anyone know of an organization that needs rods and reels for fishing programs for kids or handicapped people? We were wondering about that last nite. If we have some we don't want or need would like to give them to a place that can use them.

The boy scouts in your area would be a good place to start.

There is a kids fishing day every June. Several organizations sponsor fishing derbies to go with that. You might contact your conservation office to see if there is any programs like this in your area.

Thanks. I had thought about the Conservation Department

Perch - Mississippi Valley Hunter & Fisherman Association would appreciate them also........ located in Quincy, IL. We've donated duck decoys, rods and reels in the past and they definitely get used and are appreciated.

I am a member of project healing waters fly fishing fishing. We are a group of disabled veterans who get together and learn to fly fish tie flies and build rods. Most of us conventional fish primarily. There are surprisingly a lot of the guys and gals who dont have any fishing gear.Plus we go to a veterans home and I know for sure there are a bunch ofmguysmwho would benefit from some fishing gear. If there are any disabled vets out there who would be interested in the club feel free to email me at [email protected].

Thanks
