The Warm Fly fly tying contest has begun.  Read the contest rules and take a look at the great prizes in the “Warm Fly Soft Hackle Fly Tying Contest” board of the Warm Fly Forum.  The prizes were donated by Frank Siefert of Off the Hook Fly Shop.

I received the video “Rivers of a Lost Coast” For Christmas this year.  I watched "Rivers" with my wife this past weekend.  Incredible movie; it was moving, eye opening and one that every fly fisherman should own and watch. The photos, scenery and cinematography were stunning.  You can purchase the movie from their official website:  www.riversofalostcoast.com

This week’s Friday Member spotlight is on new member AftonAngler.  Why?  Just take a look the thread titled; “Musky on the fly anyone?” and you’ll know why!  The thread can be found in the “Warmwater Fly Fishing" board of the Warm Fly Forum.  It looks like Uncle Larry will have to add musky to his fly fishing “Bucket List.”

Local fly shops are starting to disappear all over the country.  More and more fly fishermen are using big box stores and the internet for their purchases.  We are loosing part of Americana!  We need to support our local shops!  Please, before you purchase any fly fishing items, at least call a local shop and give them an opportunity to satisfy your needs.  Nearly all fly shops are willing to ship merchandise.  If you're going to use the internet, use it to locate you closest fly shop!


Why use a local or independent fly shop?

- Specialization
- Experience
- The ability to cast a rod before you buy
- Service
- Quality

ABOUT HOOKED ON THE FLY
Mission Statement

HOOKED on the Fly’s mission is to experience nature, adventure, and promote conservation seen through the lens of fly-fishing. We capture the soul, art, science and magic of fly-fishing.

One of our goals is to profile an area on earth where fly-fishing is special, and especially beautiful, and must to be protected. This includes what’s being done to protect the resource, and what needs to be done. Everyone can easily help promote ecologically sound practices for a sustainable resource. For more information, please visit our Conservation page.

Most fly fishers think primarily of all these concerns when they go fly-fishing. As we take viewers on our filmed adventures, we believe these concerns are still primary for those of us who love nature’s beauty and thrills.

During each show we’ll fish with Dr. Chris Travis, a director of The Northcoast Steelhead Alliance and world-class fly-fisher, along with the best local guides. Each 1/2-hour exciting program uses Hi Definition to transport you to wild, arresting, natural heavens on earth as if you were there.

You’ll also get novel, important information. What kind? The kind we fly-fishers crave. Everything from whether it’s good to fish on full moons, and how you can become involved to help insure these natural resources are passed on to future generations. Wherever we fish around the world, these types of tips will be given to you so that you can be use them wherever you fly-fish in your own local or far-flung waters, both fresh and salted.

Hooked on the Fly’s goal is to present you with world-class, fly-fishing films. Fly-fishing brings us into nature’s meditative majesty as well as its excitement. It renews our souls by remembering our rivers past, while celebrating our present and future course, especially with family and friends. Fly-fishing connects us to ourselves, our earth, and each other. This is our mission.
