Join us at Grayrock for the Raffle Drawing

Rod-Makers at Grayrock is held annually at Lovells Township, Michigan.  It is one of the original Cane Rod-Makers Gatherings.  The forum is conducted in June and attracts Rod-Makers from across the Country. The 2017 gathering was very successful, and a great time for the folks who attended.  The gathering was a huge success and allowed the good folks of the gathering to donate to The AuSable Anglers, Lovells Township Historical Society Fishing Museum, and the Bamboo Bend Project.  The 2018 gathering is June 21-23.  Our raffle will finally come to an end on the 23rd at 3:00 PM as Mark Mackey our President draws the winning ticket.
