Well, from our perspective, the show was reasonably well attended but the gouge we got from some people was the weather had scared off the out of towners! The weekend originally called from some bad weather that eventually missed us to the north. So, for planning purposes, I can see how some people that were going to drive a couple of hours to attend the show, might have decided earlier in the week to bag it, when they saw the projected weather. Unfortunately for us show attendees, the weather was fine and the turn-out lower than we anticipated. No official word from the staff at Rapidan TU about the head-count at the door.
Hopefully, next week's National Capitol region TU show will be well attended. It usually is but that is the operative word these days, usually.

Well, it has been a long time since we posted. Things at the FFB household have switched gears of late and we are trying to re-focus our efforts to bring FFB to the forefront in the fly fishing community. We moved last year and have another imminent move on the horizon, that coupled with taking a new job and watching Evie grow bigger and smarter everyday has taken a lot out of our focus.
My little princess is almost 4 years old now. She has been a sheer joy for my wife and I and she continues to astonish us with her personality and intelligence.
For 2014, we will be attending the following shows:
Rapidan Chapter TU Annual Show - on March 1, 2014 at the Warrenton Fair Grounds.
National Capital Angling Show - on March 9, 2014 at Bethesda Maryland.
Virginia Fly Fishing Festival - April 12-13 at Waynesboro, Virginia
Project Healing Waters Annual 2-Fly Event - April 27, 2014 Rose River Farms
Casting for Recovery Annual 2-Fly Event - October 26, 2014 Rose River Farms
Come see us at one of these shows!

New 2012 Aluminum Benefit Boxes are in!
Our new Project Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery Aluminum Fly Boxes are here! We have been making Project Healing Waters Fly Boxes for 4 years and this year, we built the first Casting for Recovery set of aluminum fly boxes. This year, the Project Healing Waters boxes sport a purple logo and lettering, while the Casting for Recovery boxes sport the familiar logo in pink!
The boxes are designed, built, transported, and marketed with the sole purpose of raising funds for the programs. In addition to the build, transport and marketing costs, we have to pay the import duty and Federal Excise Taxes (F.E.T.) on all sales and basically, the proceeds from the sales of all boxes are donated to the respective programs.
Please supoport Project Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery with a purchase of any branded gear we build and sell. Project Healing Waters page is here: PHW and the Casting for Recovery page is here: CFR.
Here are some shots of the new boxes:
Come take a look at the boxes and support our organizations.
