Casting Across – 3 Year Giveaway
I’ve had a chance to collaborate with some amazing people who represent the best of what is out there in the industry. Some of these companies have graciously offered up some of their gear for a giveaway. To celebrate three years of Casting Across, to say thank you for reading, and to spread my writing to a wider audience, it was great to be able to give away hundreds of dollars worth of flies, leaders, packs, and more to ten winners.
International Fly Tying Symposium – IFTS 2018
I drove through Parsippany, New Jersey earlier this week, and it is actually beautiful this time of year. In two weeks, it is also the site of the International Fly Tying Symposium. This is an event that is literally international and actually all about fly tying. Whether you are new to this facet of fly fishing, you’re looking to grow as a tier, or you simply want to get a few feathers, you should plan on stopping in November 17th & 18th.
If you can’t get to New Jersey in a few weeks, but still want to improve your fly tying, I suppose the next best thing is sitting in front of your computer. If that is indeed the route you take, you’d do well to check out the deep catalog of fly tying videos from Loon Outdoors. They’ve got chironomids, crabs, and everything in between. It is all easily accessible, well produced, and free.
