" Long Shot" by The Fly Collective


A real nice video short by The Fly Collective on Jay Zimmerman and Erin Block, on the addiction to 
carp fishing. Always nice to see that you can enjoy your passion without having a million dollars and having to spend it on exotic destinations. Hats off to both Jay and Erin. 
Jay is the one of the front men at Charlie's Flybox, and a hell of a fly tier. Erin, you can read her daily on Midcurrent, the daily buzz on flyfishing and the happenings.
Check it out..

Done..Finished..Ready for Donation


The first of three donations by Floatfisher was finished today, as these two boxes will be donated and auctioned off in the upcoming Cutthroat Chapter - TU in Denver, CO on November 11th. It is the little things that I can do to help fund the fine kids programs, conservation projects and stream restoration projects this group puts on. 
 Midge Box contains 96 assorted gems for the various Colorado waters.
Never to be outdone by the other donors and tiers, Floatfisher is all about presentation. I found this great Cliff Box in Casper, WY. Not only your flybox, but art by Ty Hollock is added to the front of this box. Signed and numbers this should be a hit.
143 Assorted foam and dries complete this box. Ready to be slapped into your boat box and be fished.
Bid high and often.....
