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, [...]

Al Crise (or “ol’ Al” as he was known to many) has passed. Some FF&W readers may know Al from his casting classes at Federation of Fly Fishers’ meetings and so forth, or from his posts on a number of fly-fishing bulletin boards. Al was tireless in his teaching of fly casting, and had a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

GB has now finished the initial writing of Reading Waters, the second book in our upcoming series. From the title I’m guessing that you can figure out what the book is about. We are editing book one (Fishing the Film) now, and we are also setting up the pricing structure, distribution, and other details for the series.
My task [...]

While many FF&W readers have likely already heard about the freeze issues affecting the Florida coastal fishery, I thought that I’d put up a quick link to the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust’s news center (includes links to official FWC statements, as well).

Yet another fly-fishing friend has died—Jim Greenlee. It’s likely that not many readers will recognize Jim’s name, but I know that some of you still wade in the boots that he shepherded into being—along with my father—many years ago.
Jim was in charge of Weinbrenner when he and my father got together and made the Ultimate [...]

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!

After a hiatus of a couple of years, I’m returning to writing my techniques-based column in ”Fly Fish America“ magazine. The refreshed column is scheduled to appear in FFA’s annual “Trout Issue,” with a May/June 2010 dating. The column, barring space or other issues, should appear in every issue thereafter.
With a distribution model that is based heavily on [...]

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 [...]

Another sad week for the fly-fishing community with the passing of Charlie Meyers (so close to the passing of Rusty Gates). Much more about Charlie from his close friends and colleagues here and here than I can write on FF&W. My mother has a funny remembrance about Charlie, though, involving a particularly rough plane ride across [...]
