To show our thanks for your generous gift of $1,000 or more, we'll send your choice of  these two great gifts:

TU 50th Anniversary Leather Bag
Fifty  years ago quality and made-in-the-U.S.A was the rule rather than exception.  Hand-crafted in Lynnville, Tennessee at Colonel Littleton’s Leather Shop, this rugged and handsome leather bag is a true throwback when it comes to durability.  Designed to replicate a vintage United States Postal Service Mailbag, it is constructed of American steer hide with a dry-milled and pliable leather flap that contours to the bag’s shape no matter what the contents.  It has a big pocket on the inside front, solid brass hardware, and features both an over-the-shoulder strap and a handle.  Built to last and branded with TU’s 50th anniversary logo, this bag ought to be around for quite a few more TU milestones.  Dimensions: 17” x 13” x 4” at the top opening.  6” deep at bottom.  Retail: $575

Limited Edition TU 50th Anniversary Winston BII-MX Rod
Winston’s newest fly rod series, the Boron II-MX, is the fastest rod the Twin Bridges, Montana company has ever offered.  The MX stands for maximum, as in maximum power, distance and fish fighting capabilities.  This 9’, 4 piece 5-weight rod is stiffer and faster than its Boron IIX counterpart and weighs in at a minuscule 3.8 ounces.  This rod is unmistakably Winston with its classic emerald green blank, new nickel-aluminum double locking reel seat, hard chrome guides and premium half-Wells cork grip.  To top it off, our friends at Winston embossed TU’s 50th anniversary log on the end cap and inscribed the words “TU 50th Anniversary” in precise silver lettering on every rod.  Celebrate 50 years of protecting and restoring America’s trout and salmon fisheries with this limited edition BII-MX.  Winner of Fly Fish America’s 2008 Editor’s Choice Award, this rod is tough to beat.  Retail: $675
