Hello Everyone. I (Kyle Kosovich) am participating in Recycled Fish’s 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. At 6:00 pm, I’ll set off with Team Longboat–my friends Aaron Scott, Brian Wise–on the beautiful North Fork of the White River (NFOW) in southern Missouri, and we won’t stop fishing until 6:00 pm the next day. It’s a huge challenge, but we’re doing this to help raise money and awareness for Recycled Fish and draw attention to issues facing the North Fork–a river that needs clean water to sustain the wild rainbow trout, monster brown trout, lunker smallmouth bass and endangered Ozark Hellbender salamanders that reside in the river. We’re also preserving the heritage of the Ozarks by floating in a traditional handbuilt wooden White River johnboat, for Longboat Outfitters guiding service.
If you have a moment, please visit the official page for Team Longboat to learn more about those issues. You’ll also find a link to make a tax-deductible donation via PayPal, as well as an address for Recycled Fish where you can send a check on our behalf.
Recycled Fish hopes to raise $20,000 with the 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon, and Team Longboat’s goal is a $1,200 contribution for our time on the water. That breaks down to $50 an hour that we want to raise through hour sponsorships, per-fish pledges and other donations. If you are able, any donation is great but a $25 will go a long way to reaching our goal. Your support gives us the encouragement we need to last all the way through that 24th hour.
Thank you so much for your support. You contribution supports Recycled Fish in our efforts to teach people across North America about how we can take better care of our lakes, streams and seas through everyday living.
