One of the premier TU fundraising events in the country is happening this weekend in Bozeman when on Saturday the MGTU chapter hosts their Troutfest Banquet and Auction, with doors opening at 5pm. There’s a nifty silent auction open now, and you can also peruse the live auction items that will be sold on Saturday […]
We’ve recently had the pleasure of helping friend John Way set up a round of presentations here in the DFW metro this year, talking all things Montana and introducing people to his fine shop in Ennis – The Tackle Shop (link to his blog by the way). John spoke at the Orvis Plano last night, […]
One of the most aptly located TU chapters in the nation – the Madison Gallatin TU chapter in Bozeman – is about to host their annual fundraiser banquet and auction on the 22nd, and they’re going to have a robust online auction as well – it’s hosted here (it’s not fully loaded with items yet, […]
Looks like Orvis’ Guide Rendezvous is headed back east (from Missoula) this year to Roanoke 19-21 March – details here.
Hat tip to Cam Mortensen for mentioning the Wyoming Cutt Slam Clave 2020 which is being put together over on the Fiberglass Fly Rodders forum here. You need to scroll down through the feed to get to the most current posts with the details; it’ll be run out of a campground(s) out of Alpine, with […]
Bourbon and southern barbecue in one festival event, with funds raised for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to boot? Details here.
For our compadres in Southwest Montana, a quick reminder that Jeff Currier will be presenting tomorrow night at the MGTU meeting and covering the lakes of Yellowstone. Currier is one of the rare few who has carved a wonderful career in the fly fishing and art worlds and yet persists as just a damned nice […]

For our friends in Texas, Orvis has opened their newest store in Fort Worth and is hosting a grand opening shindig this weekend, replete with giveaways, free beer, special reps from their travel division (look for Steven P, a friend of ours and one of the best in the fly fishing travel game right now), […]
Garden and Gun recently posted a short piece about the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute; they offer not only a more formal, intensive program, but also short courses and seminars for we mere mortals in the kitchen. Details at the link. Image via G&G.
From the most recent Gig Harbor Fly Shop newsletter – Leland is something of legend in the PNW / Greater Puget Sound area, and though he’s retired from his post at Orvis in Bellevue, he’s still sharing his wisdom with those in the neighborhood. Contact the shop for seating, proceeds from the night to benefit […]
The Nimiipuu River Rendezvous, formerly known as the “Free the Snake Flotilla”, is coming up this weekend September 20-22. Details and registration here. Hat tip to our compadres at the Snake River Waterkeeper.
