I’m excited to announce a new collaboration with another great online fly fishing resource: Trout & Feather.

Tim Cammisa has been running Trout & Feather since 2014. His YouTube channel features over 250 videos; the bulk of which are fly tying videos. I’ve used Tim’s videos for my own tying, and have referred many Casting Across readers his way over the years. His production value, instruction, and pattern choices are all as good as it gets.

Personally, I hope that this partnership benefits his viewers and you: my readers. If there is one short stave in the fly fishing barrel at Casting Across, it is fly tying.  Trout & Feather is a spectacular resource, and I’m  looking forward to sharing Tim’s content on this site.

I’ve always thought that my writing on Casting Across gives attention to the center and the periphery of fly fishing. It is fishing, but it is also the people, places, and things that go into the pursuit of fish. To that end, we’re calling my little section on his site “The Pursuit of Fish.” Here’s the first article:
