For the second year in a row Oyster Bamboo rods has donated a fantastic item--a two-night stay in their inn in Blue Ridge, Georgia, The Cast and Blast Lodge. One highlight is that there are four private rooms and bathrooms included in the stay, so it's a great opportunity for a family or group to visit this cool, casual simple inn in the heart of historic Blue Ridge, Georgia. The stay is based on availability. The inn has a common area, a kitchen with no stove, private bath, wifi, and cable tv. They can also connect the winner with their neighbor Cohutta for local fly fishing information. Some info:
Bedrooms: 4 distinct rooms named the Trout, River, Quail, and Tree rooms.

Room Features: Each bedroom includes its own private bathroom, Wi-Fi, and cable television.

Common Spaces: Features a shared gathering common area, a small kitchenette (equipped with a mini-fridge/microwave setup but no full stove), and a main balcony offering a bird's-eye view of Main Street.

Setting: Situated right in the heart of the historic district, within easy walking distance of local downtown restaurants, boutique shops, and nearby trout streams. [1, 2, 3]

Primary Purpose:  Primarily serves students attending Bill Oyster's custom bamboo fly rod-making classes, so this item is a special opportunity to stay in this cool inn.

Here's a great article with full info on the lodge as well as the bamboo rod building classes that take place downstairs: https://ontheflysouth.com/oysters-cast-n-blast-inn/ We're grateful to Oyster Bamboo for donating such a generous item. Social media: @oysterbamboo
