A Note About “NOFC” Book Orders

JB — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:26:00 +0000

Just a quick note if you have ordered a Nature of Fly Casting book and have not yet received an e-invoice for it. All orders that I have received have been invoiced via PayPal’s system, which allows for payment with a major credit card or PayPal account. If your e-mail system has a highly aggressive [...]

“Nature of Fly Casting” EOL September 1

JB — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:15:05 +0000

If you still want one, you’ve got until September 1, 2010, to order. After that date (assuming that I don’t run out of copies before then), the book will no longer be available from me (though there will likely still be a few copies lurking out there in shops and so forth). The book will [...]

NOFC Book Orders (Feb 1-6)

JB — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:22:33 +0000

If you ordered a Nature of Fly Casting book during the last week, your order has either already shipped or will at some point today (I’m heading out to look at some water, so they may be on tonight’s truck out of PDX). Depending on where you live, expect anywhere from 4-14 days transit time [...]

JB — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:35:02 +0000

Just a quick post to everyone who has ordered Nature of Fly Casting books up through and including Jan 29. All the books have shipped or are shipping as of today (Feb 1). Got a little behind due to the heavy initial response (thanks!), but am now caught up on shipping. Depending on where you live, [...]

Get ‘Em While They Last!

JB — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:21:15 +0000

I recently re-acquired all 315 remaining copies of my Nature of Fly Casting book. I sold through a small stack last week at two club events, and am making the last of the books available here on FF&W (for a special price, of course). All 320 pages of pedagogical fly-casting goodness are available to U.S.-based readers [...]

NEW FF&W Tees – Dec 2009

JB — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:55:57 +0000

Thanks to the FF&W readership, I’ve sold through my original run of FF&W tees. I’ve had more made, but have expanded the selection with more sizes, colors, fabrics and fits. I have the Men’s/Unisex 50/50 shirts in the “Shadow Gray” color (up to 2XL), a new Men’s/Unisex 100-cotton shirt in a ”Coastal Green” color (up to [...]

Tees Are Here!

JB — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:01:54 +0000

(UPDATE: December 7, 2009) These are now in my hands: Introductory price (through Dec 31, 2009) is $20 for the shirt, plus shipping (and tax in the state of Washington). Shipping costs are only a few bucks in the U.S., and a few more bucks outside the U.S. (tees ship via First Class Mail/Airmail). Sizes: [...]

The hospital’s rehab center is a fantastic facility, and the clinic will be held in conjunction with the hospital’s rehab professionals. The cost for the Clinic is $995. [...]

And it Begins…

GB is here in the Pacific Northwest right now, and is furiously typing away on his PowerBook. What is he typing, you ask? The start of a new book series that the two of us are collaborating on, that’s what. We have plans…big plans (insert megalomaniacal laughter here). Actually, the plan right now is, “We’d better [...]

Modern Midges

JB — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:28:51 +0000

I forgot to mention that I made a couple of small contributions (emphasis on the “small” part) to this project: a fly pattern (the Cross Dresser) and a short techniques piece. Authors Rick Takahashi and Jerry Hubka put some serious effort into this book (with tyers from all over the world contributing), and the finished product [...]

Some of What I’ve Been Doing…

JB — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:30:50 +0000

I’ve been putting in some time up at Gary Loomis’ new North Fork Composites (NFC) rod-blank project (blog is here). When the company was getting underway, there was a discussion about using Dr. Bill Hanneman’s Common Cents System (CCS) for providing additional (and “objective”) blank data, and NFC decided to run with it. The CCS [...]

About That FF&W Tee…

JB — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:07:25 +0000

If I’m going to order a bunch of these things, I might as well know what to order, right? So, let me know! (Just as a note, no matter what material(s) I run with, the tees will be made (manufactured, not just printed) in the U.S.)
