Planning on IFTD

JB — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:01:45 +0000

For any readers who might be attending this year’s IFTD show in Denver on September 9-11, Kel and I will be wandering about for one of those days (haven’t made up our minds yet as to which day). If you spot us, say hello (Kel is easy to spot; me, not so much). It has [...]

Thanks to the Ashland Fly Shop (and Kellie)

JB — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:53:08 +0000

Just a quick shout out to say “thanks” to Will at the Ashland Fly Shop (as in Ashland, Oregon). When I was in Medford this last week to do a casting clinic and an evening talk, I discovered that I had left my Mini-DVI to VGA video link in Los Angeles somewhere the weekend before. [...]

Leaving LA LA Land

JB — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:10:16 +0000

Had a great time in the LA area these last few days. A “thank you” to everyone who came to the Fly Fishing Show, and a “thank you” to those of you who were so generous to me during my stay. And to my longtime friends in LA—from the the way-back movie days—it was so [...]

Pasadena Fly Fishing Show 2010

JB — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:10:14 +0000

After heading over to Van Nuys Blvd. to order up a #2 at my old favorite In-N-Out Burger (I ate there more than I should have when I lived in LA), I’m now in Pasadena getting ready for tomorrow’s show. Hope to see a few FF&W readers over the weekend (I’m doing casting clinics and [...]

Fly Show in Pasadena – March 2010

JB — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:52:22 +0000

For those SoCal FF&W readers who might want to hear me drone on pontificate in a lively and engaging manner, you may wish to attend the March 13-14 Fly Fishing Show in Pasadena. While the final schedule is not yet in place (Update: It’s in place now), it looks like I’ll be doing some talks [...]

Speaking – January 20 & 21, 2010

JB — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:22:28 +0000

I’ll be speaking at two fly-fishing clubs—one in southwest Washington and one in southwest Oregon—this coming week. The first engagement is at the Clark-Skamania Flyfishers in the Vancouver/Camas (and by default, Portland) area on January 20th. The second engagement is the next night in Grants Pass, Oregon at the Southern Oregon Fly Fishers. If you’re [...]

The Fly Casting Institute (FCI) is partnering with Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital in Hamilton, Montana to present the 2010 Marcus Daly/Fly Casting Institute Clinic from April 9-11. 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. [...]

Sitting in Missoula…

JB — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:51:05 +0000

I’m currently sitting in a hotel room in Missoula. Yes, I’d rather be fishing, but it has been a week-and-change since I last updated FF&W, and at some point one has to eat, too. Spent the day in Hamilton, doing a “Taste of the FCI“ hosted at the brand spankin’ new Marcus Daly Hospital Rehab Center. [...]

(Just bumping up a previous post…) I have confirmed that I’ll be doing casting demos at the Bellevue, Washington (Feb. 6-8) and Portland, Oregon (Feb. 14-15) Fly Fishing Shows. If you have the burning desire for up-close-and-personal discussions of the Foundation Casting Stroke, the Three-Step Exercise, In-The-Air Mends, and more, mark the date(s) on your [...]
