Hey FFC! Some awesome news from Fly Fusion. Look forward to your feedback - enjoy! Click here if the movie does not play. Fly Fusion TV - Series Overview Fly Fusion Magazine takes its visually inviting and highly captivating print platform and successfully transitions the same vision to film and television. Co-host Jim McLennan (respected guide, word renown fly-fishing author, and Fly Fusion’s managing editor) and Derek Bird (Fly Fusion’s founding editor) team up with a number of the magazine’s field editors to provide engaging and informative dialogue. Fishing in British Columbia’s Kootenay region, they find themselves in the heart of the Rockies fly fishing in some of the country’s most stunning locations. The co-hosts fly fish for oversized bull trout and large Westslope cutthroat, but the fish are not all they're after. The series also projects all that makes a fishing trip more than just catching fish. The hosts discover - through exploring, through the solitude of remote locations, through discussions about why fly fishing is a passion that spans a lifetime, through dialogue about timely issues affecting the sport - that fly fishing can never be reduced to an individual standing in water, holding a rod. Fly fishing connects the individual to others, to generations, to fish, and to environments. In each episode, McLennan and Bird chase both trout and the heart of fly fishing.

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and would like to welcome in the New Year with some free upcoming events at the shop: This Wednesday, January 15: OPEN VICE NIGHT 7-9 Join Fish Tales staff members as we turn off the open sign and break out the vices. Once a month through the winter we will gather together to share stories, re-stock the fly boxes and learn tips and tactics from one another. This event is free, open to the public and goes from about 7-9. This Sunday, January 19: Free Sunday Seminar - Kelly Oikawa – Tying with CDC Please join Kelly Oikawa this Sunday as we host our first Free Sunday Seminar of 2014. Kelly will be venturing up from Lethbridge to share his knowledge and expertise on the topic of tying with CDC. Many of you have seen his flies in Fly Fusion or while surfing the web and it will be a huge pleasure to watch his artwork happen live and in the shop. As always, seminars start at 1:00, are free and open to the public, and first ones in the doors get the seats!
