jasonborger.com is now fishfliesandwater.com

Well, jasonborger.com is still jasonborger.com, but fishfliesandwater.com has taken over from jasonborger.com and turned jasonborger.com into fishfliesandwater.com. Confused yet?
Actually what I’ve done is transfer the blog URL (a/k/a the Web address) from jasonborger to fishfliesandwater. The change should be essentially invisible, since both domain names point to the same set of files. BUT, [...]

The FlyTalk/FF&W Collaboration

Some of you may have noticed the new “Collaboration” header over in the sidebar, and wondered what was going there (indeed one of you wondered enough to e-mail and ask). The collaborations are exactly that, FF&W and a small group of other blogs working together to provide content and so forth. Today is the day [...]

E-List Mailing (Jan/Feb 2010)

The FF&W E-List mailing for Jan/Feb 2010 has gone out (as of Sunday night). My analytics show no “bounces,” so the mailing should have reached everyone on the list. My concern is that overly aggressive spam-filters may catch it (even though it is designed to avoid those issues for the most part). If you are [...]

NOFC Book Orders (Thru Jan 29)

Just a quick post to everyone who has ordered Nature of Fly Casting books up through and including Jan 29. All the books have shipped or are shipping as of today (Feb 1). Got a little behind due to the heavy initial response (thanks!), but am now caught up on shipping.
Depending on where you live, expect [...]

FF&W Facebook Give-Away Winner

Gregg Perez picked up a copy of Nature of Fly Casting in the recent FF&W Facebook give-way. Congratulations, Gregg, and thanks to all the FF&W fans on Facebook. The next E-List mailing will also have a give-away component, and another will be coming to the Facebook crew when FF&W hits the 100-fan mark. Stay tuned!

So About That December E-List Mailing…

Yeah, about that December mailing…looks like it will become the January E-List mailing instead. Just couldn’t get it done before the first of the year, so it will come in the next week or so. There will also be a give-away on the FF&W Facebook page (thus two chances to win something for nothing in [...]

FF&W on Facebook

It was inevitable, I suppose…FF&W is now on Facebook (sorry to the legions of tweens who read this site, but there is no FF&W MySpace page). Go now my friends, and become fans (and if you have a good shot of yourself with an FF&W tee and a massive fish, you know where to post [...]

Favorite Posts 2009

Feelin’ lazy reflective today. Gonna go cast my MPR, work on the book series, and perhaps watch a few minutes of “Once in Blue Moon” (while simultaneously lamenting the fact that I do not currently have two tickets to the South Island sitting on my kitchen table).
And while I do all of that, here are [...]

Page Hierarchies and Dead Links

Before the Pages section of this blog gets out of hand, I have decided to step in and organize the thing. No more random topics arranged by first letter! Now it is about random topics arranged by first letter, but under separate parent pages. Thrilled? I’m sure you are, but try to contain yourself. Actually [...]

NEW FF&W Tees – Dec 2009

Thanks to the FF&W readership, I’ve sold through my original run of FF&W tees. I’ve had more made, but have expanded the selection with more sizes, colors, fabrics and fits. I have the Men’s/Unisex 50/50 shirts in the “Shadow Gray” color (up to 2XL), a new Men’s/Unisex 100-cotton shirt in a ”Coastal Green” color (up to [...]

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas to all from Kel (the beautiful girl with the large rainbow) and me (the other person with the embarrassing slightly less large trout).

Drawing Flies 52

There is still one day until Christmas, and if you’re looking for a unique gift to get someone, check out the book that Jeff Kennedy at Drawing Flies 365 has to offer (or just buy it anyway, good books are always worth having).
Jeff and I have also been talking behind the scenes, and we have decided [...]
