Upgrade Issues

I recently upgraded WordPress (the software that runs this site) and it appears that some settings got changed in the process. If you’ve tried to leave a comment and subsequently been asked to login as a user, you know what I mean. Should be fixed now. I’ll check through the other settings to be sure [...]

You can see what they look like up above and here’s the rest of the info: The 100-percent cotton, unisex, “Pool Blue” tee is sewn in America (by American Apparel) and printed [...]

March 2011 E-List Has Gone Out

If you’re signed up for the FF&W E-List, check you inbox. The latest mailing was scheduled to go out at 12:00pm Pacific Time today. I hope that you enjoy the mailing, and thanks to everyone who is an E-List member. Update: Looking at 5 bounces immediately, up from 1 last time. That means that 5 [...]

GB Offering Signed “Fishing the Film”

Guess that GB got a bunch of requests for signed copies of Fishing the Film. As such, he’s decided to offer the book, signed and personalized, on his eBay store. The price includes shipping (international customers will need to check out any additional ship costs). Don’t know how long he’ll keep the book up there, but [...]

GB on “Ask About Fly Fishing” Tonight

My father (a/k/a GB) is doing a “Fishing the Film” Q&A on Ask About Fly Fishing Internet Radio this evening. He’s on at 7pm Mountain Time, so tune in tonight (or download later) to get an earful. I asked a question myself via the Ask About site—well see if chooses to answer it (something that [...]

Drawing Fish 52 Art for Purchase

Rather than wait until year’s end to make the Drawing Fish 52 art available, I’m going to do it on an as-we-go basis. If you are interested in a piece, please contact me directly using the Contact JB link above, or send an email to jason(at)fishfliesandwater(dot)com.

Bonefish on Thursday

For those salty FF&W readers out there, a bonefish is coming the DF52 project on Thursday evening. That gives Jeff and I a cold, warm and salt water start to the year (rainbow, pumpkinseed, bonefish). From there, the sky’s the limit, and you can expect to see fly-rod gamefish from all aspects of angling. I [...]

Revised “Series Pass” Prices! (Nov 2010)

Just in time for the holidays (what a fine cliché), we have made some revisions to the cost structure of the “Series Pass” for the 20-book “Fly Fishing” series. The US price remains the same ($479), but Canada drops to $559 (save $120) and International drops to $719 (save $160). In additional, GB will now [...]

E-Listery – October 2010

The latest FF&W E-List mailing has gone out (late last night in the U.S.). I got a few bounces back my way, so if you didn’t get the mailing, you may want to double-check your address in your original subscribe emails (and check your junk folder, too). If you need to update your profile, you [...]

About That “Fishing The Film” Pre-Order Stuff….

Had a little snag there (as in no one could order on-line, not even me). Until that gets fixed properly (hoping it’s just a day for the fulfillment center to fix things), I’m pulling that post. I’ll re-post once I know that things are running more like they should. Apologies to those readers who tried [...]

Switching to Share This

After seeing how the previous Shareaholic plug-in worked here at FF&W, I decided to switch over to Share This. The new plug-in seems to work better for me (in terms of how it presents in Twitter), and takes up less visual space in the post. In addition, it is more obvious as a “share/tweet” service [...]

FF&W E-List – October 2010

I’ve had a few people asking if they had missed any E-List mailings this summer. No, but I’ve missed one (or two). Sorry about that (to say things were busy this summer would be a monumental understatement). I have the October mailing on tap for later this week, and it will have some educational goodies, [...]

Shareaholic is on FF&W (Trial)

Fired up the Shareaholic plug-in for Facebook and Twitter… Give it a try, Simon (and anyone else)! Update: Going to give this plug-in a trial period to see how it goes. May adjust how/where it appears, etc., and see if it turns out to be permanently useful for FF&W or not. Any feedback from Facebook/Twitter [...]

Blog Updates – Plug-Ins

Just updated the blog with a couple of new behind-the-scenes plug-ins. All seems to have gone as it should, but if anyone gets odd behavior with the Categories and Links areas over there on the right, let me know. Thanks!
