As I posted last week, I’m going to be doing two casting clinics at the 12th Annual Metolius River Flyfishing and Bamboo Rod Fair in Camp Sherman, Oregon, July 16-17 (near the greater Bend/Sisters area). The Saturday clinic is now full, but the Sunday clinic still has spots. The clinic runs 730a – 930a, with a max of [...]

I’ve gotten a few emails from people asking about Reading Waters and potential Father’s Day availability. Well, it’s Father’s Day, and I can confirm two things: 1) The book is coming off the press (GB already has some copies), and 2) The order page isn’t ready to go. Which brings me to a third thing: [...]

A recent digital project that I contributed to, Freshwater Flyfishing Tips from the Pros (a Mark Williams project), is now available on the Apple App Store for those who run an iPhone, iPad and/or an iPod Touch. GB has also made noise about contributing to the next update. Check it out if you have an [...]

Yep, it’s gone. Off to the printer in Ohio for proofs, then onto the press shortly thereafter. We’ll have an order page up as soon as we can for those readers who might be interested in a Father’s Day gift (not sure that actual delivery will make Father’s Day, but it should be close—we hope). [...]

I’ve rather suddenly gotten a number of emails in the last few days (actually weeks) asking about my now out-of-print Nature of Fly Casting book. I scrounged up two more copies that were damaged and those went to a couple of casters in the UK. I literally have nothing remaining, except for a copy in [...]

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 [...]

Yes, the new FF&W tees (Brown #1) are now available. 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 right here in Portland, Oregon. As a result, the shirts aren’t cheap, but [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Available Drawing Fish 52 (2011) art (in reverse chronological order): [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
