Epic Studio Built 370 FastGlass II Fly Rod Raffle (Winner)
As promised, we have drawn a winner for our NFC logoed Epic 370 FastGlass fly rod. Generously donated by Swift Fly Fishing out of New Zealand, the raffle raised over $1,900, or more than twice the retail value, for wild native fish conservation initiatives.
Complete with “Native Fish Coalition” painted on the blank.
Made from high-tech unidirectional S2 glass, this 7-foot 3-weight 4-piece fiberglass rod is an NFC favorite. National Vice Chair Bob Mallard, National Secretary/Treasurer and Maine Chair Emily Bastian, and Technologist Ben Brunt all own one and use it regularly.

Having sold the 100 tickets, we just drew the winner streamside at an iced-in wild native brook trout stream in New Hampshire’s snow covered White Mountains. Unfortunately, while the video came out, the audio didn’t but we’ll post it anyway so you can see what we did :)
The lucky winner, Andy from New York, was just notified. He acknowledged our email, gave us a mailing address, and the rod will be shipping Monday. It’s fair to say that our friend and supporter will be looking forward to the season opener so he can get out and try his awesome new rod.
Apparently, the winning ticket was sold at the New Jersey Fly Fishing Show last month. We waited a bit to make sure everyone had their tickets before drawing a winner, the last 10 were mailed out. Andy has said he will send us a picture as soon as he gets the rod.
